Abbreviation for:Poker Terms - Common Phrases and Acronyms. In poker, there is practically a library of poker terms that are commonly used. For the uninitiated, these terms can sound like a completely different language, when a poker player says, 'I flopped a belly buster on a rainbow board', when they are really saying that they have an inside straight draw, after the dealer dealt the first three cards, all. The term poker face was used outside the game of poker by American sportswriters in the 1920s to describe a competitor who appeared unaffected by stressful situations (an important skill when playing poker for money, to avoid giving an opponent any tells about one's hand). Cards that are dealt face up, as opposed to downcards that are dealt face down. In seven-card stud, the first two cards are downcards, the next four are upcards, and the seventh is another downcard. As such, we tend to use the term hypomimia to describe facial masking within the context of Parkinson's disease. It suggests the actual loss of motor control rather a physical manifestation of emotional blunting. 2 Pep Karsten / Getty Images Masked Facies in Parkinson's Disease.
