Poker jargon:
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
- 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.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
