Get a fast breakdown of the meaning behind the "three pair" hand in poker. Find out everything you need to know in our quick and easy guide.
Ace-High refers to a type of poker hand. Ace-High means that we have not managed to make a pair, but we do at least hold an Ace meaning that we will beat any other high-card type hand. In a broader sense, Ace-High can also be used to describe a number of different poker situations where the highest card is an Ace. An Ace-High flop, an Ace-High flush, and Ace-High straight etc.
Royal flush is the best possible hand in poker variants that used the high hand ranking system. It is comprised of the Ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace all of the same suit. It is technically a type of straight flush, but it beats all other straight flushes. In games where it is possible for two players to make the royal flush at the same time, no specific suit takes precedent; a royal flush will always chop with another royal flush.
Limp means to just call in an unraised pot on the first betting round. It’s typically considered a weak play. It’s generally accepted that players should mostly either raise or fold preflop when the action is folded around to them in an unopened pot. If we are the first player to limp into the pot it’s referred to as an open limp. If a player has already limped before us a limp is referred to as an over limp or limp behind.
