Poker lexicon:
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- ANTE - A small bet all players are required to make before a hand is dealt. Not all games have an ante. Related terms: BLIND, FORCED BET.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
- 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.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
