- KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
- ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
- OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
