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
