Poker players make up all sorts of weird names for cards/hands/situations because, well, we're just bored.
For example:
American Airlines: Pair of Aces Belly Buster: Inside Straight Big Slick: Ace/King Fishhooks: Pair of jacks Snowmen: Pair of eights.
Given the abundant imagination and literary talent that exists on Hatrack, can you come up with other fun names? If you don't know poker that well, you can still come up with names for cards.
For example:
The Lawyer: Jack of Diamonds.

Little Diddy: Queen Jack suited (Think John Cougar Mellencamp) Slurpee: Ace Seven (Better in Blackjack, I think). Jack S---: Jack Deuce off suit.

I love those! Especially the first one.
Wouldn't Slurpee be 7J? I'm dense, sorry!
For the record, I go in with Jack Sh** all the time. Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
I've played more blackjack, where Ace = 11 or 1. Jack is ten in my mind.
And if you go in with Jack S--- all the time, we'll have to play poker sometime.
