If you insist on calling queens "whores", I respectfully request that you call
kings "dickless wonders".

From what I here about the California 3-6 games, I would think 2-3 would be
California Big Slick.

here is one of my own creation---

A4----transvestite

huh? what?

well, card "squeezers" may appreciate this...
when you see the first card and it is an Ace, then you squeeze out the second
card....if it is a four, you see the "conehead" of the four at first and your
heart leaps a bit with excitement (another Ace!!), then you examine more
closely, and you are quite disappointed.
transvestite.

If there's any justice in the world... you'll hear, "That's good."

Two black aces - Joe Louis (cuz in the ring he'd give you two
black eyes)
Two red aces - Visine (for two red eyes)
Two Queens - Girls with curls
4-5 Jessie James (cuz of what he carried on his hip)
K-3 Sizzler (cuz of their specials on Alaskan King Crab and also
because one tends to sizzle when losing to such a hand)

Finally 10-8 not that it has a name but it is the only hand that
tells you how to play itself - tenaciously of course.

In my group, we refer to JJ as the "SHIP" ("Shittiest Hand In Poker")..because
you always raise with it before the flop and still get beat.

I'd suggest searching on Google for older threads on this topic--this
one pops up a couple times a year and you'll probably be able to get a
pretty comprehensive list on Google.

4 - 7 Cambodian Big Slick

Don't ask. I used to play at a club in NYC where there were a lot of
Cambodian and Laotian players; this was their favorite hand.

You've brought me back to my college days of paying Anaconda and
Little Witch, taking money from high trust fund kids, and just plain
having a good time.

A - Bulls or Bullets
K - Eds
Q- Bitches (with appologies to the ladies - but in our game that's
what they were called)
J- Jake or Jake Burrito
T-
9- Ninas
8- Hogs or Hognuts
7- Hockey Sticks
6-
5- Fins
4-
3- Tre's
2- Dueces

Looking back - not to creative.

I've also heard this one called "big lick".


And here's one for a entire poker hand that I came up with a few days ago...
