Poker jargon:
- 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.
- SIXTH STREET - The sixth card dealt in 7-card stud.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
- EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
- CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
- AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
