Poker glossary:
- 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.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- THIRD STREET - In Stud, the third card dealt to each player.
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
