- STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
- 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.
- DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
