In poker, the term “face card” refers to kings, queens, and jacks since these cards have a picture of a royal court member.
When it comes to evaluating different situations in poker, face cards can be important for a few reasons:
- Face cards are typically considered to be strong cards because they have a higher value than most other cards in the deck (except aces)
- Face cards can be used as a group term when you are describing a range that has a lot of high cards in it
In general, when talking about face cards, we talk about a strong range with many Broadway combinations, which can also be referred to as the paint. In the games where it is used, Joker can also be considered a face card.
