Omaha A variation of poker where players receive four hole cards, with five community cards. Your final hand must include two hole and three board cards.
On The Bubble In tournament play, 'On The Bubble' is where a player is eliminated in the final seat before the payout stages are reached. So if a tournament paid out for the first 10 positions, on the bubble would be an 11th place finish.
On the Come Betting without a made hand but with a strong draw to improve.
Open-ended Straight Four consecutive cards, where a fifth card will complete a straight at either end. Eg, 7-8-9-10.
Open pair A pair dealt face up. This particularly refers to stud games.
Outs The theoretical number of cards available to make your hand. Eg, If you have an open-ended straight draw with 3-4-5-6. There are four Two's and four Seven's left which could arrive, and therefore a total of eight outs.
