- WHITE BLACKBIRD - A hand so astonishingly rare as to be unworthy of the opponents' consideration, e.g., being dealt a pat royal flush in 5-card draw.
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
- EXPECTATION - The long-run [dis-]advantage of a given situation, specifically without reference to any particular outcome. I.e., what you figure to win [lose] on average after a large number of repetitions of the same situation.
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
