Glossary of Poker Terms at Bodog Online Poker Room

Jackpot

A prize pool that is awarded when a player has a very strong hand beaten by an even stronger hand, such as four Aces being beaten by a straight flush. There is usually an established minimum qualifying hand requirement, often four of a kind beaten or better, and it is usually required that both players use both of their hole cards.

Jam

To jam a hand or a pot is for a player to play very fast and aggressive. Games can often be referred to as "Ram and Jam," meaning that the betting is heavy and the action is fast.
