Poker dictionary:
- TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- OVER - A term used in describing two pair or a full house. "Kings over tens" means two pair, kings and tens. "Jacks over", also "Jacks up" describes a hand that is two pair: Jacks with an unspecified lower pair. Also used to describe a full house, distinguishing the three of a kind from the pair. The hand J-J-J-A-A could be described as "Full house, Jacks over Aces".
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
- TAP - In no-limit games, to wager all of one's money in one bet.
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
