Useful poker information:
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
- 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.
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
