Poker lexicon:
- OFFSUIT - Not of the same suit. "I held A-Q offsuit" or "The flop was 10-6-2 offsuit". When speaking of 5 or more cards, not all/ of the same suit, i.e., no flush, as in "button had A-K-10-8-7 offsuit."
- MISDEAL - A hand dealt incorrectly that must be re-dealt.
- OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
- 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.
- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
