High Card ( poker )


1) In a stud game, the exposed card with the highest rank, usually the one
who must initiate the first round of betting.

2) At the showdown, a hand that wins when two no-pair hands or two flushes are in contention by virtue of containing a card of higher rank than any in the other hand.
