Poker glossary:

RUNNER-RUNNER - A hand made using both of the last two cards dealt.
BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
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.
OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
OFFSUIT - Not of the same suit. "I held A-Q offsuit" or "The flop was 10-6-2 offsuit". When speaking of 5 or more cards, not all/ of the same suit, i.e., no flush, as in "button had A-K-10-8-7 offsuit."
LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
