Poker dictionary:
- BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
- OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
- HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
