Joint

The noun joint in poker is identical in meaning to the nuts: the best possible hand.

The term is most often used when discussing hands in Hold 'Em or Omaha which are flopped, and is also most often used to describe straights, though it can occasionally be used to describe a flush. It is not generally used to describe three of a kind, two pair, or pairs.

The most common phrase using the term is when a player is said to have "flopped the joint", which means to have flopped the nut straight (or sometimes a flush).
