Useful poker terms:
- 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.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
- TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
