Poker talk:
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- 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.
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
