- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
- HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
- MAIN POT - The main pot, as related to one or more side pots, when there are one or more all-in player(s). The main pot is the one in which all active players participate.
- PAT - Holding or being dealt a pat hand. "I'm pat" would mean "I don't want to draw any cards.
