Poker lexicon:
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
- FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- HIT - To make a hand or catch a card or cards that improves one's hand. "I hit a gut-shot draw on the river."
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
