Casino poker language:
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
- PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
- LOWBALL - Generic term for poker where the lowest hand wins.
- 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.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
