Poker talk:
- LITTLE SLICK - In Hold'em, hole cards of A-2, suited or not.
- HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
- FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
- 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.
- 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.
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
