According to this site, buta appears to be the colloquial name of a "no pair". Is there such thing as a "no pair"? If not, what is it called in English?

@Yosh I wouldn't go there to ask the meaning of a Japanese word.– Vun-Hugh VawJul 24, 2017 at 10:51

According to List of poker hands, ノーペア is called "High Card" or "No Pair" in English.
Note that you may see some 和製英語 terms in poker and other Western-origin games. "Three of a kind" and "Four of a kind" are usually referred to as スリーカード and フォーカード, respectively, in Japanese. (Perhaps "-of-a-kind" was grammatically too difficult for Japanese people.)
