Jam
-
Lots of action, especially raising.
Jackpot
- A special bonus paid to the loser of a hand if he gets a very good
hand beaten. In hold'em, the "loser" must typically get aces full or
better beaten. In some of the large southern California card clubs,
jackpots have gotten over $50,000. Of course, the jackpot is funded
with money removed from the game as part of the rake.
Joker -
The joker is a “partially wild card” in high draw
poker and ace-to-five lowball. In high, it is used for aces,
straights, and flushes. In lowball, the joker is the lowest
unmatched rank in a hand. |
