Low Spade ( poker )
1) A side bet in which two or more players (usually in a draw
or lowball game)
agree that whoever has the lowest card in the spade suit on
the next hand (or, if no one has a spade that hand, on the following
hand or hands) wins something, usually a prearranged bet, or
a free drink bought by the loser or losers.
2) To play for the low spade. "I'll low spade you for the
drinks" means that if, for example,
I get the seven of spades on the next hand and you get no spades
or a spade higher than the seven, you're supposed to buy me
a drink, if you agree to the proposition. Sometimes called just
spade.
