- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- TURN - The fourth community card in Hold'em.
- FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
