This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
  • UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
  • BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
  • MAIN POT - The main pot, as related to one or more side pots, when there are one or more all-in player(s). The main pot is the one in which all active players participate.
  • CUT - To break the deck into 2 stacks of at least 5 cards each. Usually performed by the player to the dealer's right to insure that the the deck is not stacked.
  • HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
