Nicknames for Texas Hold'em hands?

[Mike_25]

In the game of Texas Hold’em we got ourselves some colorful nicknames for hands. A pair of eights might be called “pocket rockets” on account of they’re mighty explosive. Three of a kind is just “ trips”. Four of a kind, why that’s a “quads” hand and ain’t nothing but trouble! A full house with two pair plus a kicker, that’s a “full house”. And of course four aces is the mighty “quad ace”, best hand in the whole shootin’ match!
