Useful poker terms:
- 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.
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
- DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
