Jacks Up

Raise or increase, as in The cartel is jacking up oil prices again. This term alludes to the literal meaning of jack up, that is, "hoist with a jack." [Colloquial; c. 1900]

Any player with two pair, where the higher pair are jacks.

SoundPoker Says: In hold'em if your hole cards were J-9, and the community cards included one jack and one 9, you would have two pair, jacks and nines. Or you could exclaim "Jacks Up". Two pair beats one pair.
