Hit - As in, "I hit the flop". It means the board connected with or helped your hand.
If you “hit”, it means you have made some kind of hand using the cards in your hands and the cards on the board. For example,
if you hold Q9 and the flop comes Q83, it hit you.
Just like a flop or board can hit you, it can also hit your opponent's. When using the term "hit" to describe how a
hand hit an opponent's, it is often used when talking about a
bad beat. A player might say something like
"I had a full house and he 'hit'
a three outer on me on the river" or "I had pocket jacks against ace king and of course, he hit a king on the flop."
It is common for a short stacked player
in a tournament to push all in if the flop “hits” any part of their hand.
