Poker argot:
- OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
- 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.
- TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
- TAP - In no-limit games, to wager all of one's money in one bet.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
