Useful poker terms:
- MISDEAL - A hand dealt incorrectly that must be re-dealt.
- DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
- TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
- 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.
