- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
