- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).

- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
- BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
- RUNNER-RUNNER - A hand made using both of the last two cards dealt.
