- FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
- POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
- PAT HAND - In draw poker, a hand that does not need any more cards. Specifically, a straight, flush, full house or straight flush. One might bluff and represent a pat hand but actually hold something else.
