Hi poker players,
I don't know about you, but when it comes to slang on hands in texas hold em i have to admit there is times i am clueless when certain slangs are given for a hand held.
Here is a list of some slangs in texas hold em:
AA Rockets, Bullets, American Airlines, Two Pips
Ak Big Slick, Machine Gun, Walking back to Houston
AQ Little Slick, Big Chick, Mrs. Slick
AJ Blackjack, Ajax, Jackass
A10 Johnny Moss, A-Team, Book Ends
A8 Dead Man's Hand
A3 Baskin Robbins, Friday the 13th
A2 Acey Duecy, Drinking Age
KK Cowboys, Elvis Presley, King Kong, Ace Magnets
KQ Marriage, Royalty
KJ Kojack, King John
K9 Canine, Dog, Fido, The Donk
QQ Cowgirls, Ladies, Seigfried and Roy
QJ Maverick
Q10 Q- Tip
JJ Jokers, Johnnies, Fishhooks
1010 TNT, Boxcars, Dimes
99 Wayne Greztky, German Virgin
88 Octopussy, Little Oldsmobile, Snowmen, Infinities
77 Hockey Sticks, Candy Canes, Walking Sticks
66 Route 66
55 Presto, Speed Limit, Nickels
44 Darth Vader
33 Crabs, Hooters
22 Ducks, Swans, Creepers
A wired pair is any pocket pair hand...that as often as i have heard it never knew what that meant.
If you have any other names for these hands please share them. Some of them are really clever names.

Don't forget the Doyle - 10 2
He won two world series of poker with that starting hand.

Hi Blue,
Ahh yes the good ole Doyle hand. I have to admit i've had that hand and stayed in a pot figuring if he could win World Series of Poker...i can give it a shot too.
I must admit i gave up that notion pretty quick. That hand really is baaad!

Yep no kidding but the number of times I've thought about keeping it and then decided against it, what flops? 10 10 2 or 2 2 10 its really very annoying. But yes - it is indeed a really really bad hand.

Hi Blue,
I think one of the cutest coined phrases for a hand is the 9 5...called Dolly Pardon. When i first heard this i wondered where the heck did someone get Dolly Pardon out of a 9 5.....Then someone told me...It's from the movie she was in 9 to 5.
The slangs are endless and are for every hand imagineable. The list is so long i would still be writing!!!!

WHOA !!!! That is a fantastic list... I was thinking that you meant slang as in blinds flop etc. I am just learning, Ive only played online and mostly no one ever chats but I would love to feel comfortable in live play situation. Al tho Can sure tell it must be a "male" thing, Not unlike all the different slang names the have for 33's aka hooters lolololol
