Poker jargon:
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- 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.
- LOWBALL - Generic term for poker where the lowest hand wins.
- DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
- HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
