- BET - To put money into the pot, pursuant to the rules of the game, thus maintaining a chance of winning the pot.
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- WHITE BLACKBIRD - A hand so astonishingly rare as to be unworthy of the opponents' consideration, e.g., being dealt a pat royal flush in 5-card draw.
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
