permatilt

In poker an extreme form of tilt that can be produced by taking an exceptionally bad beat. The implication is that a player receiving such a bad beat will be so emotionally disturbed that they will play recklessly for the rest of their lives (permanent + tilt). While no unambiguous examples of the phenomenon have ever been reported the term is frequently used to indicate extreme emotional distress at the poker table.

"I get all-in versus this donkey with AA and flop quads. He's playing The Kat and runner-runners his miracle cards to make a straight flush. I've been on permatilt ever since."

spoke

In poker a spoke is the hand A2345 also known as a wheel. Use of the term is gaining popularity particularly in Nevada and Southern California, primarily because it can be conveniently used as a verb, as in the example below.

The donkey in the 4-seat thought he was getting at least half the pot but I spoked him on the river.
