Poker Hand NicknamesTexas Holdem Poker Hand NicknamesHave you ever wondered how poker hand nicknames originated? Many of the original names were established in the old west table games. A8 "Dead Man's Hand" - Wild Bill Hickok got shot from behind holding that hand. However, with the popularity of televised poker growing, so is the list of pop cultured inspired poker hand names. Many of the most widely used poker hand nicknames are starting to get new names based on pop culture icons. Here's a few of my favorite pop culture poker hand nicknames: AK "Anna Kournikova" - she's good looking but rarely wins. QQ "Hilton Sisters" - America's Royalty. Check out the complete list below!
