- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- COMMUNITY CARDS - Cards that are available for every player to use in making a hand. Usually dealt face up somewhere in the middle of the table.
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
