Here are the answers to part three of my four part series on Hold ‘em poker hand nickname trivia.
Hands with a queen:
Q J “Maverick” Taken from Maverick TV show theme song, “Livin’ on jacks and queens…”
Q 9 “Quinine” Because queen 9 sounds like Quinine.
Q 7 “Computer Hand” Calculations tell us that this is the average hand.
Q 3 “San Fransisco Busboy” “Gay waiter”
Q 3 suited “Posh Gay Waiter”
Hands with a jack:
J 7 Jack Daniel’s (Jack Old No. 7)
J 6 “Railroad Hand” (supposedly, repeating “Jacks and sixes” sounds like a train on its tracks)
J 5 “Motown” The “Jackson Five” released their albums through the record company ‘Motown’.
J 4 “Flat Tire” Answer to the question “What’s a jack for?”.
I hope you got them all! Look for my next post where I’ll cover poker hand nicknames for starting hands without a face card in them.
