Hooks

Having one's hole cards as two Jacks. Pocket jacks are referred to as "Hooks."

SoundPoker Says: Hooks are considered strong starting hole cards, especially in hold'em. They become even stronger when hitting a third jack on the board or what is referred to as a “set”. If not, be weary if an ace, king, or queen comes on the board.
