Poker slang:
- 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.
- SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
- HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- CAP - To cap the betting is to make the last permitted raise in a round.
- 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.
