Poker lingo:
- TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
- RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
- SIDE POT - When an active player runs out of money during the course of a hand, the remaining players participate in a second or SIDE POT for the rest of the hand. Additional side pots are possible if several players run out of money at different points in a hand.
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
