Poker argot:
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- 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.
- PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
