Casino poker language:

• FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
• RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
• SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
• BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
• BET - To put money into the pot, pursuant to the rules of the game, thus maintaining a chance of winning the pot.
• TAP - In no-limit games, to wager all of one's money in one bet.
