Offsuit
Any starting hand in poker in which the cards are not of the same suit, as opposed to suited.
Omaha
Omaha is a variation of Texas Holdem in which players are dealt four hole cards instead of two. Players may use any combination of the four cards to make their best five card hand but must always use exactly two of their hole cards and three of the community cards. This is different than Holdem in which players may use two, one, or none of their hole cards to make their best five card hand. Omaha can also be played in a Hi/Lo format either as a Limit or Pot Limit game.
One-Gap
A starting hand in Holdem in which a player's two hole cards are separated in rank by one, such as having K-J in the hole.
Out
A card that can further improve a player's hand. For instance, if a player has a flush draw then any of the remaining cards of the same suit would be considered "outs" or cards that would make a flush.
Outdraw
A player is outdrawn when they are initially ahead in a hand but lose to another player who catches the cards they needed to make a better hand.
Overcall
To call a bet after one or more other players have already called.
Overcard
- A pocket card or cards higher than any card on the board. For instance a player holds A-K on a board of 7-2-5.
- Conversely, community cards higher than a player’s hole cards. For instance a player holds 5-6 and the flop is 10-Q-A.
Overpair
A player's pocket pair which is higher than any card on the flop.
