Overcard

A hole card higher than any card on the board.

In depth

An overcard is a hole card that ranks higher than any community card on the board. This term describes a situation where an unpaired private card exceeds the highest card in the current shared cards, indicating relative high-card strength without forming a made hand. It helps assess the potential value of unpaired holdings in relation to the board.
