Points (poker)
A side bet, made in a draw game, between two or more players,
in which the player holding more than 40 points receives a prearranged
payment (say one chip) for each point he holds over 40. Aces
count 11 (sometimes only 1), face cards 10, and the others have
face value. Such an arrangement would likely be made in a lowball
game, so that players might feel that they can win something
on otherwise unplayable hands. Often played in conjunction with
colors.
