Poker terminology:
- 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.
- CAP - To cap the betting is to make the last permitted raise in a round.
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
- RAIL - A barrier dividing the card playing area from a public area.
- DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
