Useful poker information:
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- CASE - The fourth card of a particular rank, as in "he folded the case 9" when describing where all the 9s were in a hand. Comes from the game of Faro where an employee of the house, called the "case keeper". kept track of the number of each rank of card remaining.
- BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
