Poker dictionary:
- KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- 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.
- DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
