Yea Xianti, add them. Add them!

Add them now or I'm walking out and never coming back!

OK, so sometimes when I don't understand things, I tend to get defensive of them.

Where will these be added to? The forum? This web site? Our vocabulary? Please explain.

Hump, on the FTR home page, there is a link down on the left for Poker Lingo where two hands (Big Slick and Big Chick) are named. I think that's what he's talking about...

*coughcheckmysignaturecough*

LOL...ok guys, we'll add your items to our Poker Lingo html page...

especially "Big Lick".

I guess keep 'em coming, I'll add them.

Little Slick - A2

There's a lot of more dorky nicknames for specific hole cards, but I don't think you need them all.

Player types: (since you already have maniac)
Calling Station
Fish
Shark
Rock
Bubble Boy (the definition of this one should just read "Fishstick")

We all know the gay waiter (Q3). I call Q3s the maitre'd - that's a gay waiter in a suit.

Now that I read the page, you're missing a lot of hole card names.....

Good Buddy - 10 4
Brunson - 10 2
Motown - J 5
Ducks - 2 2
Dolly Parton - 9 5

These are all the non-obvious ones I can think of. Lucky Ladies, Cowboys, etc I'll leave to you guys....

Here's one for all you Omaha players.

The Lesbian Lickfest

i keep telling you all: it's Mr Bubble Boy!

For 69s, I prefer "prom night."

88 is snowmen

And maybe naming out the player positions would be helpful (maybe just for me?) I understand BB= big blind, LB= little blind, UTG under the gun just to left of BB, but the others can be confusing (again, maybe just for me?)

CO = Cut Off
T5 = Woolworths, not sure if it has to be suited ?
AJ = Ajax
88 = I like to call 2 fat ladies

Also BB has to meanings
1 - Big Blind
2 - Big Bet

i.e. in Limit 2/4 a small blind will be 1, a big blind 2 and a big bet 4. If someone said you need 300 BBs to play at this table they would be refering to Big Bets.

This makes a lot more sense now. I didn't understand he was refering to the poker lingo page. Thanks koolmoe.

Actually, with all the hand nicknames, it may even dictate it's own page just for starting hand nicknames.

KQo = Doyle Brunson (named as a joke because he never plays this hand)
Also
T2 = Doyle Brunson (because he won 2 WSOPs with this hand)
77=Walking Sticks
55=Speed limit / Presto
66=Route 66

Also, it would be useful to some to put definitions for position
SB
BB
UTG
CO
MP
etc.

= Fish Hooks

= Ajax

= Five and Dime

= Crabs

= Kojak

= Heinz

There are some more obscure ones too.

Some of the names from Ken Warren's book are in this thread but others aren't. Here's some of the names in his book:
Ac,Ad American Airlines
Ad,Kh Big Slick
Ah,Js Ajax
Ac,8s Dead Man's Hand
3c,Ah Baskin Robbins
Kh,Qh Marriage
Ks,Jd Kojax
Kd,9S Canine
Qd,Jh Maverick
[51]

Here's some others:
88 Snowmen (from golf)
KT Ken
K8 Kate
K7 Kevin
K6 Kix

j and anything suited=redemption

There's a bunch more in this column from ESPN Page2's Jackpot Jay:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...ovinger/040824

some of those are horrible and make little sense

:edit: btw, Set should be in the for 3 of a kind/trips

ok "nicknames" are made for fun and poker knowledge like chip tricks. theres no real reason for them its just fun and shows your experience. just because you think its horrible means you dont understand the reason for the nickname and should find out so you can enjoy these names not gripe

i have a lot of hand nick names on my site, under poker hands link

Also nicknames came about as a way to remember what cards you have so you don't have to keep looking at them. Which can be used as a way to judge an opponents hand strength. (Pro's and Con's to that approach)

Remembering what you got gives you more time to study your opponents reactions to thier cards.

right, but when it's a page on poker lingo- all the hand names aren't used on a regular basis besides a few, and when half of the names are situational, players would be better off making their own names for random hands like that.
