Poker terminology:
- DRAW - [1] A class of poker games characterized by players being dealt 5 cards face-down and later having the opportunity to replace some of the original 5. "Draw poker" and "Five-card draw" are examples of usage. [2] In stud and Hold'em games, the set of cards that will be dealt later can be collectively called "the draw". [3] To discard some number of cards and have dealt an equal number of replacements.
- 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.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
