- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- LITTLE SLICK - In Hold'em, hole cards of A-2, suited or not.
- BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
