Poker lingo:
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
- 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.)
- OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
- 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.
