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.
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- STAKE - The amount of a player's BUY-IN, or the amount of money they are willing to play with in a given session. Compare: BANKROLL.
