Poker lingo:
- ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
- KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
- 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.
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- 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.)
