Casino poker language:
- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
- 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.
- ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
- POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
- LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
