Poker lexicon:
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- MISDEAL - A hand dealt incorrectly that must be re-dealt.
- FREE CARD - A card dealt after all players checked in a betting round.
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
- LITTLE SLICK - In Hold'em, hole cards of A-2, suited or not.
