Poker night: For card sharks, no messy hands will be dealt

ON POKER NIGHT, the cards rule in more ways than one. A sit-down dinner would disrupt the game, so it’s buffet all the way.

FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
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.)
EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
OMAHA - A variant of Hold'em where each player receives 4 hole cards and must use exactly two of them (together with 3 of 5 board cards) to make a hand. Often played high-low split with an 8 qualifier for low.
MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
