Poker slang:
- LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
- TOKE - Gambling term for "tip", as in "Toke the cocktail waitress". Comes from the term "Token of appreciation".
- 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.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
- CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
