- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- BIG BLIND - A blind bet, usually a raise of an earlier blind which would be called the SMALL BLIND. In limit poker, the BIG BLIND is usually the size of the minimum bet on the first round of betting.
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
