Where you’d hold hands and jabber (5)
I believe the answer is:
poker
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'where you'd hold hands' is the first definition.
(a poker player holds a hand of cards)
'jabber' is the second definition.
(someone who pokes or jabs)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for poker that I've seen before include "Gambling card game" , "Jabber" , "Fire-iron" , "Rod liable to become heated" , "A game for the fireplace implement" .)
