Set

A set is three of a kind made with a pocket pair and one card on the board. For example, you hold two sevens and the flop contains a third seven. It is a strong, well-hidden hand.

Set Over Set

Set over set is a situation in which two players both flop a set, and one has the higher set. The player with the lower set is in a very bad position, since he is almost certain to lose.

Single Raised Pot (SRP)

A single raised pot, SRP, is a pot in which one player raised before the flop and everyone else just called, without a re-raise. It is the most common kind of pot.

Split Two Pair

A split two pair is a two pair hand in which one card of each of your hole cards pairs with a board card. For example, with ten-nine and a flop of T-9-5, you have a split two pair.

Table Cards

Table cards are cards turned face up on the table for use in everyone's hand, such as in the game Cincinnati. They are another name for community cards.

Texture

Texture describes how the community cards fit together, for example if they are suited or connected. A dry texture has few draws, and a wet texture has many.

Top and Bottom

Top pair is a pair made with a hole card and the highest card on the board. If the flop is J-8-5 and you hold a jack, you have top pair.

Top Pair/Medium Kicker (TPMK)

TPMK means top pair with a medium kicker: you pair the highest board card and your other card is decent, but not the best. For example, jack-ten on a J-2-3 flop.

Top Pair/Top Kicker (TPTK)

TPTK means top pair with the top kicker: you pair the highest board card and your other card is the best possible kicker. For example, ace-jack on a flop of J-2-3.

Top Pair/Weak Kicker (TPWK)

Top pair with a weak kicker, TPWK, is a pair of the highest board card with a low side card. It is a medium hand that can lose to the same pair with a better kicker.

Turn

The turn is the fourth community card in Hold'em and Omaha, dealt face up after the flop betting round. It is also called fourth street. A round of betting follows it.

Turn C‑bet

A turn c-bet is a continuation bet on the turn: the player who raised before the flop and bet the flop bets again on the turn. It is sometimes called the second barrel.

Two‑Tone

A two-tone board is a board with exactly two different suits, so a flush draw is possible. On a two-tone flop, two cards are of one suit and the third is of another.

Underpair

An underpair is a pocket pair that is lower than every card on the board. For example, a pair of fives on a flop of K-9-2 is an underpair.

Wet

A wet board is a set of community cards that connect well with many hands, usually because they are suited or in sequence, so many draws are possible. The opposite is a dry board.

Wet Board

A wet board is a set of community cards that can make many strong hands and draws, usually because the cards are connected or suited. It leads to more action, since many players can have something.

Wrap

A wrap is a straight draw in Omaha that has nine or more outs, made from two board cards and three or four of your hole cards. It can have up to 20 outs, which makes it much stronger than an open-ended draw in Hold'em.

Wraparound

A wraparound is an Omaha hand in which three of your four hole cards are consecutive and combine with two cards of the flop to make five connected cards, so that many cards on the turn and river complete a straight.
