Poker argot:
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
- RAKE - Money taken from each pot and given to the house in return for hosting the game. Usually a percentage of the pot (5%-10%) up to some maximum amount.
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
