Poker jargon:
- DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
- RAIL - A barrier dividing the card playing area from a public area.
- 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.
- STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
