Poker talk:
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- 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.
- ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
