I always liked JKo being called the bachelor's hand (jacking off). That
replaced as my favorite 99 being called the German virgin (Nein! Nein!).

7-3 - the Swedish busboy (Sven with a tray). OK, that one's a bit of a
stretch.
and one I heard too much of in my younger days: any clubs = puppy feet
(gag).

nothing like some silicon and spackel make-up to get you going, eh.
Good one. I need three more, and I will have 400 in my list. In my
spreadsheet, I am now pointing to the first place I saw something
used, either in a book or online. "Catnuts" in RGP on 4/7/04.
My other 8-8s are: Frog Eyes, Hogs, Hognuts, Ochos, Dog Balls, Dawg
Bawls, Infinity and Beyond, Little Oldsmobile, Mighty Wurlitzer,
Racetrack, Snowmen, Two Fat Ladies

You don't have anything listed for K5o, which as I pointed out a few
weeks ago, is often called the "Rotten Cowboy." Also I've heard 73o
called the "Rustry Trombone" and I don't see that listed.

You are right. I have not updated the web recently from my
spreadsheet, waiting to get to 400. Rusty Trombone puts me over the
top, so the new list is posted. Thanks for these contributions.
Visit www.holdemsecrets.com/handnames.htm for all 400.
Can you give me the explanation for Rotten Cowboy and Rusty Trombone?

I will give it a shot:
T-6 = Ringwald (as in molly)
This is really computer-geeky, and I am only posting this because you
asked, but the committee responsible for the development and
interpretation of the Programming Language Fortran is called J3, so:
J-3 = Fortran
Also, I am assuming that this is the Rich M from holdemsecrets.com, so if
you have any other information regarding this hand name:
6-2 - Bed & Breakfast (Darts term, aiming for 20s and shooting 20+5+1, 2
shillings and 6 pence being the cost of a B&B)
The explanation brings up more questions than it answers, and a buddy and
I, after quite a bit of laughing, have really been trying to make sense of
that.

I've got one more for you:
6-4 = 'Snoop Doggy Dogg' or just 'Snoop' - As in "rollin in my 6-4" from
Dr. Dre's "Let Me Ride

In Darts, I have read that shooting 20-5-1 is called a Bed & Breakfast
because it totals 26, and 2 shillings and 6 pence was the cost of a
B&B. Below is a darts reference:

In Bingo, 2-6 is also called a Bed & Breakfast because the cost of a
room was half a crown, or 2 shillings and 6 pence. Below are some
bingo references:

I found Bed & Breakfast on a poker website, but cannot recall which
one. This was before I started tracking the source of the hand names.
I will bump into it again, and I will track the source. In the
meantime, I will attempt to clarify the description.

This is cute and all, but can you stick to poker-related posts please.
Thank you.
>This is cute and all, but can you stick to poker-related posts please.
>Thank you.
Gary, Bed & Breakfast is a poker term for 2 & 6 as your hole cards. I
was attempting to explain the origins of this term, that it comes from
darts, and is also used in bingo.
Several hole card slang terms (which is the subject of this thread)
come from other games, such as Marriage, which comes from pinochle,
and Presto, which has it's origins in blackjack.
My apologies if this was not clear in my post.

>Can you give me the explanation for Rotten Cowboy and Rusty Trombone?
K5o is called the Rotten Cowboy because people who try peeking at the
corners of the card have been known to misread the 5 as a K.
Similarly, I've heard A4o called "Crashing Airlines" for the same
reason (they misread the 4 as an A.) How someone misreads these, I
don't know, I've certainly never misread A4 or K5 for AA or KK, but
that's the story.
I don't know why 73o is called the Rusty Trombone.
