When a player is losing so badly and he or she continues to play big money for hands that have no chance of winning, this type of player is referred to as a kamikaze .

When two players tie in the value of their cards a Kicker is used to determine the winner. For example, if two players both have a pair of queens, and the next highest card of the player A is and Ace while player B is a Jack, then the kicker determines that player A is the winner.

The starting hand holding a King and Jack is known as Kojak , similarly, the starting hand holding a pair of Queens is called ladies. Ladies is derived from the singular lady which is used to describe a single Queen.
