    Doing a crossword here and the clue is 'no cards'. Can't work out what it is, and don't play cards.

    Is there any expression like 'fold' or anything else which means you have no cards, etc.?

    Thanks in advance!

    Fold means you don't enter that round so yeah.. If you have no good cards. You fold.

    I'd think your wrong there. When you fold you get rid of your cards. I think the OP means having no cards in the first place to fold. I don't think there is a term in poker for this. Apologies if I'm wrong.

    Well... The reason you fold is because you have no cards to play.

    So THEN you get rid of them. I see what you are trying to say and we're kinda both right in our own ways.

    OP are you sure this is poker related?
    How many letters are in the word?

    Hm sorry folks. It was an Irish crossword and the clue was 'dath cártaí' which can be 'no cards' or 'colour of cards' and so I thought it was the first meaning they were looking for.

    Realised after that 'dath cártaí' also means 'suit'. The answer was 'heart' (hart).

    Thanks anyway for trying to help!
