The poker lingo is quite extensive and a lot of the terms are not easy to understand for a new player - if at all. In order to help you react accordingly to someone who talks about Aces Full in the chat we have written this comprehensive glossary.

Abbreviated Forms In Poker
- A Ace
- K King
- Q Queen
- J Jack
- T 10 (Ten)
- 2-9 the remaining cards with values 2-9
- h Hearts
- d Diamonds
- s Spades - Attention: stands for "suited" and not "spades" if used after a card combination (e.g. AQs)
- c Clubs
- o Offsuit
Using the abbreviations as explained above you can make hands by simply putting them together. For example Pocket Cards consisting of King and Jack would be simply abbreviated KJ, the higher valued card always being named first. If the colour of the cards is of importance and you had a King of Hearts and a Jack of Clubs we would talk of KhJc. If both are of the same colour (King of Hearts and Jack of Hearts) we can either choose to simply add an "s" (KJs) to state that the cards are suited instead of having to write KhJh. In contrast to that we can use an "o" for offsuited cards, so we could also denote our previous KhJc as KJo.
