  • STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
  • SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.

  • MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
