Poker terminology:
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
- BET - To put money into the pot, pursuant to the rules of the game, thus maintaining a chance of winning the pot.
- 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.
