Poker lexicon:
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
- SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
- MISDEAL - A hand dealt incorrectly that must be re-dealt.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- ANTE - A small bet all players are required to make before a hand is dealt. Not all games have an ante. Related terms: BLIND, FORCED BET.
