Poker slang:
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- 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.)
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
