Poker Guy: In multi-way pots, a quick call could be the wise move

Casino poker language:
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- 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.
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
