- BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
- SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
