Poker slang:

ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
CARDS SPEAK - Winner(s) of the hand are determined by turning their cards face up, the best hand(s) wins (no declaration).
BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
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.
LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
