Poker slang:
- ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
- SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
- COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
- 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.
