- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
- DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- FLOP GAME - Any of a number of poker games where a flop is dealt.
- POSSIBLE [STRAIGHT/FLUSH] - Up cards that quite possibly could lead to a straight and/or a flush.
- DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
