Casino poker language:
- 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.
- FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- CASE - The fourth card of a particular rank, as in "he folded the case 9" when describing where all the 9s were in a hand. Comes from the game of Faro where an employee of the house, called the "case keeper". kept track of the number of each rank of card remaining.
