Poker argot:
- KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
- SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
