Poker lexicon:
- 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.
- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
- FLOP GAME - Any of a number of poker games where a flop is dealt.
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
- LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
