- 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.
- LOWBALL - Generic term for poker where the lowest hand wins.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
- CAP - To cap the betting is to make the last permitted raise in a round.
- LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
