Poker jargon:

• LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
• QUALIFIER - A minimum standard that a hand must meet in order to win. Usually applied to the lowball side of a high-low split pot.
• PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
• STUD - Any of several poker games in which some of each players' cards are exposed.
• 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.
• NO-LIMIT POKER - A game where there is no maximum bet; a player can wager any amount (perhaps above some minimum) up to whatever money is on the table in front of him.
