Poker lexicon:
- OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
- 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.
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
