Poker argot:
- OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- 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.
- HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
