Poker glossary:
- EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
- BEE No. 92 (TM) - Trade name for the "diamond back" cards frequently used in casino games. Compare: RIDER BACK.
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
- CAP - To cap the betting is to make the last permitted raise in a round.

- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
