God does not play dice but Poker
Albert Einstein once said "God does not play dice", expressing his discomfort with the apparent randomness in nature. However, according to John van Sloten, Pastor at the New Hope Christian Reformed Church in Calgary, while God may not play dice he does like an occasional healthy game of Poker, more specifically Texas Holdem.

Casino poker language:
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
- SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- SCOOP - To take all of a pot that is normally split, either by winning both halves outright or winning one half when no players qualify for the other half.
