Poker talk:

GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
FAVORITE - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that figures to be the winner. Ant: UNDERDOG.
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.
STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
BET FOR VALUE - Betting a hand that, in the long run, is expected to win more than it loses. Antonym: BLUFF.
