Outside - Poker (gambling) and penide (iou)


Outside - Poker (gambling)


1) Not an employee of a card room, that is, a live player; usually preceded by on the. "Doesn' t Hector work here?" "Nah, he' s on the outside." 2) In lowball, pertaining to a card drawn to (usually) a good hand, but either somewhat above the card that would make that the best hand possible (as when drawing to A-2-3-4, and catching a 6 or higher), or when drawing to a hand with "room" inside (that is, with space below its highest card), pertaining to a card drawn above the hand (as when drawing to 4-5-6-7, and catching an 8 or higher). If a player shows down an 8-4 and says, "I caught outside," you know he caught the 8. A player might make this remark after losing to a rough 7, and bemoaning his luck that he didn' t make the wheel.
