thank you! better late... :) I have already forgotten the context too. concerning прикуп: "В каждой сдаче играют три игрока. Раздается по 10 карт. Две оставшиеся карты называются прикупом, и их содержание никому неизвестно до момента окончания торговли." Hence, somebody may be referres to as a card "in prikup" if he/she so far is not an active/known "card in the game", i. e. unknown future influencer.

Comment: "I'm very sorry for the long delay in grading (two years!) To be honest, I still don't fully understand this term, and I can't remember what I used in my translation. But I think I probably used something based on your version."

The Misha
: This is ungrammatical, not to mention that the traditional Russian reference is not so much to poker but to preferans. As such, it has nothing to do with breaking even. It rather means "what's still to come".BTW,the EN term for prikup is talon, not draw.
