No way. His favorite is QQ, Hilton Sisters.

[liquidboss]

In Seattle we have what I guess could be called a local hand name. The NBC affiliate up here is King 5 with the motto, "The Home Team." Therefore K5 is considered "the home team" up here in some circles. Even heard it at the Muckelshoot this weekend.

Unless the queens are black. Then you have the Williams sisters. Can anyone else imagine VVP saying this on air as easily as I can?

How has no one mentioned 4c 4s?

My favorite is 27o - the Spanish inquisition.

Why?

Because (imagine John Cleese voice) NO ONE expects the Spanish inquisition!

I saw a thread (on a different site) that gave local names to hands. Don't recall them (and the site has been taken down), but KK was Krispy Kreme.

[Cygnus]

JKo - Pee Wee Herman

[cpk]

94 -- Hideaway

[for a cardroom in Shoreline, WA where the phone number is 362-9494. No, this is not a plug.]

[cpk]

At the rooms in Everett this is called "The News."

[Matt Flynn]

at lucky chances a 52 is called cajun slick, eldon's road hand.

4s4c should be darth vader

Kh9h family dog (a well-loved canine)

Ks9s pissed pooch (you'd be too if you'd been "spayed")

[Mansavage]

Thank God someone else knows the Griz. Rumor has it, James Woods once turned over Qs6s and said "I've got the Griz full" on the PP cruise. Names travel a long ways.

My favorite VVP name is for KK. One time he actually called them "Kinkerbells."

[Boopotts]

A couple that spring to mind:

AQ-- Big Chick
92s-- The Montana Banana
53s-- The Ethiopian Slingshot
42s-- The Barley Shipper
76s-- The Diggler

[Boopotts]

77- Corn cutters

[pokerswami]

23 - Mississippi Big Slick
36 - Jimmy Somerfield (spelling?) - named for his habit of always raising with it. Jimmy was (is?) the longtime tournament director at the Horseshoe in Tunica, and a lot of the poker people in the area know the hand by this name.

[Phat Mack]

How could you forget VVP's favorite, J-5/Motown?!

J5- Child Molesters
J6- Choo Choo
