("I was the button and called the blind".) Synonyms: BUCK, PUCK.
KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.

RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
STAKE - The amount of a player's BUY-IN, or the amount of money they are willing to play with in a given session. Compare: BANKROLL.
