Kankakee
A poker game played only in private or home games, a form of seven-card stud with a communal card, in which the joker (completely wild) is turned face up in the center of the table, where it becomes part of every active player's hand
Kansas City
1) Kansas City lowball, that is, Deuce-to-seven. 2) In ace-to-five lowball, the hand 7-5-4-3-2; so called, because that is the best hand in Kansas City lowball. 3) In ace-to-five lowball, when used attributively with a rank, generally means that card plus 5-4-3-2. For example, a Kansas City 8 is the hand 8-5-4-3-2.
Kansas City Lowball
Deuce-to-seven (In a game played for low, deuce to seven usually means that the best low hand is simply the worst poker hand. If you haven't figured it out already, that hand is 75432, with no flush. Deuce to seven lowball is also called Kansas City, or Kansas City lowball.).
Katy
In hold 'em, K-T as one's first two cards.
Keep Honest
To call an opponent on the river, even though you believe he has a better hand than you do.
Keep it or Shove it
A form of five-card stud, found only in home games, a high-low game in which, after each player has been dealt one down card, each player gets a choice, in order, on each succeeding card. When each player has one down card, there is a betting round. The dealer then offers a card off the deck to the first player. If the player wants that card, he keeps it. If he does not want it, he immediately gets the next card off the deck, and the first card is offered to the second player, who has the same options. He can take the card, or immediately get the next card off the deck, in which case that card is offered to the third player, and so on. This continues until everyone has one up card, at which point there is a second round of betting. Any card that goes all the way around the table without stopping at anyone, including the dealer, becomes dead. After the betting has been equalized, the operation starts all over, with a card being offered in turn to each player. After each time of each player having the same number of up cards another round of betting comes. After each player has four up cards, each player has the opportunity of replacing an up card with an up card, or the down card with another down card (the twist), followed again, of course, by another round of betting, and then a declaration, and then the determination of the two winners. This game is sometimes called take it or leave it, shove 'em along, or push. It is also sometimes called pass the trash, although that name is more often reserved for Anaconda.
Keep Someone Honest
Make sure someone is not bluffing, with respect to calling. 'Well, I know you're not bluffing, but I've got trips, so I'll keep you honest.' Related to pay off.
Kelter
In draw poker, a nonstandard hand sometimes given value in a private or home game. The hand is different in different parts of the country. One variant is any hand containing a 9, 5, and a 2, with one card between the 9 and the 5 and another between the 5 and the 2. This particular hand is also called a pelter or a skeet. Another variant is a hand with no card higher than a 9, no pair, and no four-flush or four-straight. Another is a sequence of cards, each separated by one rank, such as 2-4-6-8-10 or 5-7-9-J-K. This particular hand is also called an alternate straight, Dutch straight, or skip straight. The kilter generally ranks between three of a kind and an 'ordinary' straight. Also Kilter.
Kem
A brand of plastic cards; usually followed by deck or cards
Key Hand
In a tournament, the hand that proves to be a turning point, for better or worse.
Keyzard
A card, particularly the card someone needs; comes from Sacramento card room double talk.
Kibitz

Kick
1) To Raise. 'I'll kick it' means 'I raise.' For this meaning, bump is sometimes used, but generally only in home games or by beginning poker players. 2) Hit a kicker on the draw (in draw poker). 'My kicker kicked' means I drew two to a pair with a kicker and hit that kicker. If you draw to a pair of kings with an ace and make two pair, aces and kings, you kicked.
Kicker
1) In draw poker, a side card (one of a different rank) held, when drawing, with a pair or three of a kind, to disguise the hand or to try to improve the hand. Often the kicker is an ace. For example, a player opens with two kings. At the draw, the player keeps an ace with the two kings and requests two cards. The player hopes to fool the others into thinking he has three of a kind, and also hopes to make two pair, aces and kings. 2) In hold 'em, the unpaired card that goes with a player's pair or three of a kind. Often, the rank of the kicker determines the winner of the pot.
Kicker Trouble
In hold 'em, when two players have the same pair, the one with the smaller side card is said to have kicker trouble.
Kill
1) To over blind (Put in a blind when one is already present.), or sometimes just blind. 'I'll kill it' means the pot has probably already been blinded and I'm putting in another blind that is at least twice the size of the largest blind already in. Less often to kill means to blind a pot that does not yet have a blind. 2) Deliberately make a hand dead by a dealer prior to exposing the hand when requested by a player. This is so the hand can be shown without causing any possible arguments that the hand might be legally entitled to the pot because it is still live. For example, John bets on the river in hold 'em, and Sue calls. As soon as Sue puts her chips in, John discards his cards un-shown, indicating that he was bluffing and any hand that can call has him beat. Willie, however, wants to see the hand, perhaps because he wants to get a line on John's play, and says to the dealer, 'Turn that hand up.' Since John's was a called hand , the dealer must, by the rules in most card rooms, expose the hand. He picks up John's cards, taps them against the discards (thus killing the hand), and only then turns them face up.
Kill Game
A game that has kill pots. (To stimulate action, some games require a player winning two pots in a row to kill the next pot. This is called a kill pot.)

King without a Mustache
King of hearts. Use of this term is usually reserved for naming of wild cards by the dealer in a dealer's choice home game, as, for example, 'Five draw, deuces and the king without a mustache wild.'

Kitty
1) In a private or home game, a cash reserve or collection built up by taking a specified amount out of each pot. The kitty belongs to all the players, and is usually collected for some special purpose, such as paying the host of the week's game for the use of his home, for refreshments, sending one of the players to a tournament in Nevada, and so on. 2) The pot; often as part of the phrase feed the kitty, which merely means call a bet. 3) In various forms of poker played only in private or home games, a small packet of cards set aside at the start of a hand that may be purchased by or otherwise made available to one of the players, according to the rules of the specific game.
Knave

Knock
1) In draw poker, at the time to draw cards, indicate that one is pat (Holding or being dealt a pat hand. ). So called because a player, if he has a pat hand, often knocks on the table with his knuckles when it is his turn to announce his draw. Also, knock, knuckle, rap. 2) In any form of poker, at the time for making a bet, indicate that one declines to bet; check. 3) In knock poker, request a showdown. Also, knock. 4) When one is offered the deck by the dealer, after shuffling, to cut, rap on the deck to indicate one is declining the option of cutting the cards.
Knock Heads
Play head up (Pertaining to two players playing a game by themselves. 'They're playing head up for a big one.' (Two players are playing freeze-out for $1000.) Also, two-handed.). May imply two players who regularly seem to end up fighting it out for the same pots. 'How come you and Jane are always knocking heads?'
Knock Poker Dictionary
A combination of rummy and poker, usually played at home games by two to four players while waiting for a 'real' poker session to start. As in draw poker, each player receives five cards face down. As in gin rummy, the remainder of the deck is placed in the center of the table, and the top card is turned over, starting a discard pile. The player to the left of the dealer has three choices: knock, draw a card from the deck, or the top card from the discard pile. If he doesn't knock--and he can only do so if he doesn't draw a card--after drawing, he discards a card face up on the discard pile. Each player in rotation has the same three choices. If a player feels that he has the best poker hand at any point when it is his turn, he can knock. If his hand is indeed best, he collects one chip (or some other agreed-upon amount) from each player; if it is not, he loses two chips (or, again, some other agreed-upon amount) to the player whose hand beats his. Obviously (or not so obviously), the further the game progresses without someone knocking, the better the hand needed to knock. This could mean taking a chance right at the start with one large pair. Several variations exist to this game; the preceding description is the most common.
Knuckle
Stand pat (To decline an opportunity to draw cards.). 'He gave it the knuckle' means he drew no cards. So called because a player, if he has a pat hand, often raps on the table with his knuckles when it is his turn to announce his draw. Also, knock, rap.
Knuckle it
To stand pat (To decline an opportunity to draw cards.).
Kojac
In hold 'em, K-J as one's first two cards. Named because it sounds like the television series
Komoke
A variant spelling of comoque (In lowball, to pair. This comes from pan, in which you can draw a card of the same rank as one in your hand and not be able to use the drawn card. Sometimes spelled komoke.).
Komoker
Comoquer (In lowball, a card that pairs one in your hand. 'I drew to a bicycle and caught a comoquer.' ).
Ku Klux Klan
Kings.
