Power ( poker )

1) In stud poker, the hand containing the strongest up cards, or, sometimes, the hand with the most potential (as four cards to a straight flush). 2) The holder of the hand who has been betting the most aggressively. For example, in no-limit lowball, you made a large raise before the draw, I called to draw a card, and you stood pat; if I miss the hand I was drawing to, but either made, or want to imply that I made, a hand with which I might call, I might say, "Check to the power."
