Poker jargon:
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
