Poker dictionary:
- RAINBOW - In flop games, a flop in which no two cards are of the same suit. "The flop was A 9 7 rainbow."
- KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
- LIVE [CARD] - In Stud, a card probably not held by other players.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
- 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.
