Poker dictionary:
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- HOUSE RULE - Rules and interpretations (e.g., use of wild cards, or rules on having to show beaten hands) that are specific to an establishment or even tables within the establishment.
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
- 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.
- OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
- FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
