FREE CARD - A card dealt after all players checked in a betting round.

("I was the button and called the blind".) Synonyms: BUCK, PUCK.

Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
