1. Bullets, Rockets, Pocket Rockets, American Airlines

2. Cowboys

3. Ladies

4. Snowmen

5. Walking Sticks

Hmmmm :0

Aces, kings, queens, eights, sevens, fives, threes, twos, AK.

Now I'm kinda getting lost Dunno about dead man's hand, I guess the marriages are KQs and KQo, then KJ. Never heard of the computer hand, but the last two being Q3 and T2

[rakmupagain]

ill try and pick up where he left off........

dead man's hand a8...
comp hand q7 (mathematically the median poker hand HU)
and of course doyle 102

[sbullets]

Q3 is the bus boy one. i know some donk sucked out to me with it... and made mention about never folding it. blah blah

[sbullets]

oh i just read it and noticed that it had already been said.
oh well that pops my cherry to the forum anyways.

[Fictive]

Kojak= KJ
Mixed marriage I believe is KQ, but not entirely sure.

[liladypokerpro]

Okay to clear up some confusion, a "Perfect Marriage" is KQ suited; a "Fixed Marriage" is a KQ off-suit....irish got that one right

[Jarlsberg]

Shouldn't it be "mixed marriage" and not "fixed marriage"?

It is called both those things. Either one is correct. Some people call it "fixed" because it's like they were "fixed up" with each other since they're different suits.....where some people call it "mixed" because they are mixed suits. Either way, same difference

[iceveins0901]

i didnt know, but i thought the computer hand should be TT, with 1010, you know bianary or whatever, but since Q7 was made mention for it, TT probably isnt it.

I spend my brain power on memorizing houw people play not what the hands names are.

The only one I didn't know was the Bus Boy one... I'd never heard that before.

Around here, we have another... a local variation:

Daytona Big Slick ___ 2-7

Because in Daytona, many morons will be playing it like it's AK and will see a flop with it regardless of the cost. It's common to have 7 people see a flop of 7-2-2 and know that someone has just flopped a boat. Man... I love live poker.



I was playing $1/$2NL last week down there... and someone made it $55 to go blind... before the dealer had even dealt the first card. You just don't find that kind of insanity online. Edit, that is not a typo... the man put out $55 without a card in his hand at the time.
