Picture

☆☆

Basic Definition

In poker, "picture" refers to the face cards J (Jack), Q (Queen), and K (King). These are commonly called "pictures" because they are cards with illustrations.

Specific Situation

  • When your hand is KhQd, you have a hand composed entirely of picture cards.
  • If the flop is Jh9s2c, the Js is a picture card, while the other cards are not picture cards.

Important Information

  • Picture cards are high-ranking cards, so they play an important role in pre-flop play and post-flop strategy.
  • However, just because a hand contains picture cards doesn't always mean it's strong. You need to consider the suit, position, and your opponent's actions when deciding how to play.

Examples of Term Usage

"Since three picture cards came out on the flop, there's a high possibility that the original opponent has a strong hand."
