Poker lexicon:
- PAT - Holding or being dealt a pat hand. "I'm pat" would mean "I don't want to draw any cards.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- 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.
- EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
- BUTTON CHARGE - A periodic fee paid by whoever is the button, perhaps every 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Constitutes part or all of the HOUSE CUT.
