Poker terminology:
- CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
- 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.
- LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- TURN - The fourth community card in Hold'em.
- BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
