- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- CASE - The fourth card of a particular rank, as in "he folded the case 9" when describing where all the 9s were in a hand. Comes from the game of Faro where an employee of the house, called the "case keeper". kept track of the number of each rank of card remaining.
- FREE CARD - A card dealt after all players checked in a betting round.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
- OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
