Percentage poker
1) The edge or money odds a player has or thinks he has in
making a particular call. Frequently a player who calls a bet
to take a longshot draw or extra card announces, "Percentage";
he is often taking much the worst of it. For example, in lowball
the big blind may draw four cards because there are four other
players in the pot, and he is getting a better than 9-to-1 return
on his investment.
2) The house cut, or rake, sometimes also called drop.
