What do you call it when you use both cards?



Posted Thu Dec 21, 2006 8:14 am GMT by ZenBlender
I'm trying to find a term for something. Let's say you're playing hold 'em and you get a royal flush, but use only one hole card to get it. Then, let's say on another hand you get a royal flush by using both hole cards. Is there a term to identify that you have used both hole cards? I was thinking about the term "natural", as in, this is a "natural" royal flush, but I think that is usually used in reference to wilds and isn't relevant here. Another way to put it, is what term is used in casinos to say that the hand is eligible for a jackpot because both hole cards are used, versus just one (or playing the board?)

Thanks!

They say you have to use both hole cards.

From Canterbury Park:

Hold'em Jackpot

A Jackpot will pay-out when a full house consisting of three Aces with two tens (or better), known as Aces full, is beaten by four of a kind or a better hand.

Each participant must use both hole cards to qualify.

To qualify for Aces full, the participant must have at least one ace in the hole.
