Answers To Hold ‘em Poker Hand Trivia: Hands With Aces Or Kings
Here are the answers to part two of my four part series on Hold ‘em poker hand nickname trivia.
Hands with an ace:
A K “Big Slick” or “Anna Kournikova” because it looks great but hardly ever wins.
AK suited “Big slick in a suit”
A Q “Big Chick” or “Little Slick”
A J “Blackjack” or “Ajax” or “Jackass”
A T “Johnny Moss” Named after legendary poker player Johnny Moss.
A 8 “Dead Man’s Hand” “Wild Bill” Hickock held two pair, Aces and Eights, when he was fatally shot.
A 3 “Baskin Robbins” because of their 31 different flavors of ice cream. (an Ace is also a 1, making 31 for 31 flavors)
A 2 “Hunting Season” Aces are known as bullets and twos are known as ducks, therefore, hunting season.
Hands with a king:
K Q “Marriage” or “Divorce” if it doesn’t hold up.
K J Suited “Kojak”
K J Offsuit “Kojak” or “Bachelor’s Hand” because it is literally jack king off.
K T “Katie”
K 9 “Canine” Because K9 sounds like Canine or “What a Dog” or “Fido”
K 8 “Kokomo” or “Kate” (Kate” for phonetic reasons)

I hope you got them all! Look for my next post where I’ll cover poker hand nicknames for starting hands with a queen or a jack in them.
