Useful poker terms:
- HIT - To make a hand or catch a card or cards that improves one's hand. "I hit a gut-shot draw on the river."
- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- RERAISE - To raise after an opponent has raised.
- MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
- 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.
