Useful poker terms:

• SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
• CUT - To break the deck into 2 stacks of at least 5 cards each. Usually performed by the player to the dealer's right to insure that the the deck is not stacked.
• LIMIT POKER - A poker game wherein the amount to be bet is fixed, or at most variable within a prescribed minimum and maximum. Ant.: NO-LIMIT POKER.
• GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
• FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
• 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.
