flop Jd 9h 4s... nuts are JJ.
turn 8h... TQ is the nuts.
river 2h... Ax of hearts is.
x usually means low card but I just mean any other heart.

The important part, is "so far", eg you have Ks Qs, flop is 9c 10c Jd, you have flopped the "nuts", the best possible hand with the cards currently available, anyone with 2 clubs can beat you if another club hits the turn or river, pkt 9's 10's or J's beats you if the board pairs or doubles. Depending on the game you are playing (freeroll sng or mtt and the intelligence of your opposition) an all in should indicate at least the nuts or a nut draw, ie, they have 2 clubs and 1 is the A. In a situation like this, apply pressure and don't bet too low or check trying to trap. Force them to put their "life" on a draw.

The best possible hand given the board. If the board is Ks-Jd-Ts-4s-2h, then As-Xs is the nuts. You will occasionally hear the term applied to the best possible hand of a certain category, even though it isn't the overall nuts. For the above example, somebody with Ah-Qc might say they had the "nut straight."
