September 8, 2006, Newsletter Issue #30: Hand Nicknames, part two

Tip of the Week

In a previous tip we talked about some of the nicknames of poker hands. Here are some more that are good to know around the table: 88: “Snowmen”: an 8 looks, um, a little like a snowman. 77: “Walking sticks” 55: “Speed limit.” Thank goodness the federal government relaxed their constitutionally dubious nation speed limit (the feds weren't allowed to legislate it directly, so they tied a 55 speed limit to federal highway funding). Now, 55 should really be called “the number formerly known as the national speed limit” but that's a little clunky around the table.  33: “Crabs.” 22: “Ducks.”
