I found this definition particularly useful:

another name for a full house in poker.
"Ace high flush! Pay up, bitch!"
"Not so fast, motherfucker! I've got the boat."
"Damn nigga!"

I have to ask this, maybe Brown Thumb will jump in.

Why do they call pot P.O.T.?

AQ - big chick
Q7 - computer hand

There is actually a neat little two pages at the end of Mr. Brunson's NL section in SS (1 and 2 i think) that just lists a bunch of names. Kinda neat IMO.

it comes from calling a full house a "full boat", then shortened to "boat" by some retards.
