There was a post a while back that had a huge list of nicknames, I noticed 7-5 is Filipino Slick. Â Anyone know why? Â Me being filipino would like to know the story behind it.
Interesting question. I did some poking around and it is referenced in many spots but not explained *anywhere*. Anywhere I could find in 2 minutes or less...
What I have found: 3-2 is referred to as an 'Aggie slick' in Texas. The meaning here is that aggies are so stupid, they think 3-2 is powerful like AK.
So I wonder if this is some kind of knock against Filipinos? The stereotype is that Asians tend to play more speculative hands. Maybe a Filipino won a monster pot playing this hand so now it is famous? Or maybe they just like to call raises with this kind of hand?
Yeah, after doing some research of my own, I think it is either an indirect or direct derogatory comment on Filipinos. I looked up the origin of Cambodian Slick (7-4o) and it is an indirect dig at Cambodians and then I found Filipino Aces (A-4) that was direct slag on Filipinos. Oh well :
I'm glad you guys liked that one. I think it says in one of Cloutier's books that some old Texas gamblers used to call AKthe "Long Walk Home From Houston" because they'd bet their cars on that hand.
