Casino poker language:
- BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
- STRAIGHT FLUSH - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence and the same suit.
- SHILL - A card room employee who plays with House money, and does not share in any of his (her) winnings or losses. Shills are used to facilitate starting games, and keeping them going. Compare: PROP.
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- 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.
- ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
