Favourite Hole Card Nicknames
I thought of this topic after leafing through an old book this weekend. I'd have to say that my favourite hole card nickname is:
Q3 - San Francisco busboy (i.e. a Queen with a tray)
I think this is the funniest of all that I've heard of...do you have any other funny nicknames for your hole cards?

72o = The Stuped Monkey
Also in the movie "Training Day" - Denzel Washington flashes a tat of the deadman's hand on his forearm to Ethan Hawk. This is a true story as Denzel's character was a real-life rogue LAPD CRASH UNIT sargent who was a real bad ass who killed and stole from drug dealers and gang bangers. His whole crew had tat's of the deadman's hand.
My favorite hole cards are definitely Cowboys.
That is my favourite one, but I always sent it to the muck!!
That's what I was trying to do... 8)
I am intrigued by this bizzare reference to monkeys, seemingly out of nowhere...
I ask you, is this a poker forum or a monkey forum?

Damn, I didn't even notice that in Training Day. Well, I guess it was because I wasn't into Hold Em at the time. I'll look out for that next time,
I heard it while watching a televised season 1 WPT event (Bellagio?) and can't seem to forget it.

Yet this hand always fucks me, either when I have something like hooks or bitches, and then push all-in pre-flop and someone with Big Slick out-draws me, or if I have AK, and push all-in, and catch nothing, and get sent by some dude who has pocket 7's. Either way, I always seem to get chumped when I have this hand.
Because of these gory details, I also kill myself trying to decide how to play them. Push in pre-flop, wait it out? It's like chinese water torture man!!!
Evil Monkey with Laserbeams :twisted: :shock:
Goodness gracious man! It was Wild Bill Hickock! He was the lawman that got offed playing those cards. To be accurate you need to have the aces and eights all black. Legend has lost what the kicker was.
I mean really, the cool thing is not that a guy was offed playing those cards, but that it was the (in)famous Wild Bill who was killed.

so Wild Bill Hickock got capped? :?:
and deadman's hand is two pair :shock:
i'm confused :shock:

They even have his chair nailed above the door to the saloon... pretty cool in a creepy sort of way.
Five of Diamonds
On display in Deadwood (was on display at the Stardust in Las Vegas in the 80's).
Nine of Diamonds
This card was supposedly reported by first hand accounts, and is used in a recreation in Deadwood.
Queen of Clubs
According to the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.
King of Spades
Appeared in the 1936 movie "The Plainsman" with Gary Cooper as Hickok.
Jack of Diamonds
Appeared in the 1995 movie "Wild Bill" with Jeff Bridges.
Was also, apparently, noted in the transcript from the trial of Jack McCall.
Queen of Spades
Cited in a History Channel documentary "The Real West" (1998)
Queen of Hearts
According to author, Loren D. Estleman, this card even had a spot of blood. Note, however, she also claims the hand had the Ace of Diamonds, and not the usual Spade.
A commonly believed source of the mysterious hand can be found in the following story:
J. Johnson, while cleaning the poker table after the body was removed, discovered a jumble of cards scattered over the floor. From them he kept the five that were more bunched together than the others, forming a hand. Recognizing the historical importance of the cards, Johnson secreted them in a pocket. They were later stolen from him at a drinking party. The present whereabouts of the cards are a mystery so the composition of the Dead Man's Hand can't be proven beyond doubt.
and i'm sure there are plenty of other sources of theories out there.
