- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- OUT - [1] A card that will improve your hand, often substantially. A hand with many OUTS is preferable to a hand with only 1 or 2. [2] Folded, ineligible to bet or win this hand. "I'm out" is often a synonym for "I fold".

- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
