Poker dictionary:
- 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.
- SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
