High Spade ( poker )
1) A side bet in which two or more players (usually in a draw or lowball game)
agree that whoever has
the highest 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 high spade. "I'll high 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
lower than the seven,
you're supposed to buy me a drink, if you agree to the proposition. Sometimes
called just spade.
