- FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- BUTTON CHARGE - A periodic fee paid by whoever is the button, perhaps every 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Constitutes part or all of the HOUSE CUT.
- KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
