Origin of "the nuts" In poker, "The Nuts" refers to an unbeatable poker hand. According to some poker experts, the term originated in the old west, where players often bet their horse and wagon. When a player put up his horse and wagon in a game, he would be required to remove the nuts from his wagon wheels and place them in the pot, so that he could not flee if he lost the bet. Therefore, it was assumed that anyone would bet "the nuts" with only with the best possible poker hand. When you hold the nuts in poker you have an unbeatable hand. If a hold'em board shows Ad-Td-Jc-2c-3s (Ace-diamonds, Tendiamonds, Jack-clubs, twp-clubs, 3-spades), and you hold the Qs-Kh (Queen-spades, K-hearts), then you, my friend, have the stone cold mortal nuts (a straight). This cool poker term dates way back to the Wild West where cowboys would gather round a table, preferably in a saloon but alternatively around a campfire, and play cards. Back then poker players would not always bet with cash or chips. It was a more rustic time, and men would often bet their horse and wagon on a poker hand. Legend has it that when a cowboy bet his wagon he would unscrew the nuts from his wagon wheels and place them in the pot.The reason behind this gesture was that in the event that he lost the pot he could not leap up, hop into his wagon and ride away with his wager. The fact that he was willing to put those nuts in the pot as surety for the strength of his hand resonated through the prairie, and came to be synonymous with the best hand. A cowboy would only bet "the nuts" when he was convinced that his hand was the best out there. Dealing a Texas Hold'em 'hand,' begins with three cards turned up on the table. A round of betting, then a single card and another round of betting and a final card with a final round of betting. The 'Flop' is the first three community cards dealt in a game of Texas Hold' em, Omaha or any other variation of poker where community cards are used. In Texas Hold'em, the hands are dealt, there is a round of betting, and then the flop is dealt. After another round of betting the turn card is dealt, with the river card following a third round of betting. The fourth and final round of betting comes after the . The origin of 'The Flop' is unclear, but many people believe it has something to do with the way the slaps the cards onto the table. The motion used by some dealers is akin to a , but there is no hard historical evidence The turn card or Fourth Street, in Poker is the fourth of five cards dealt to the board constituting one face-up community card that each of the players in the game can use to make up their final hand. The River card is the last community card to be dealt. It proceeds the final round of betting and is responsible for administering more than its fair share of bad beats. A player might say that he "hit an Ace on the river," meaning that he paired an Ace from his hand with the card. If true, the origin of the card' is one of the most interesting of all. In the 1 8 00's poker games were regularly held aboard riverboats, where cheating players were known to deal an extra community card in order to give themselves an advantage. Such miscreants were often tossed overboard into the water, and hence the final community card become known as 'the card'. Some history of Poker Legends... In one of the most famous poker confrontations of modern times, poker legend Johnny Moss battled with Nick The Greek in a 1 949 marathon game at Binion's Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas. The game lasted five months and they played every variation of poker there was. At the end, Moss reportedly over $4 million from the Greek. The game was actually a precursor to the World Series of Poker (WSOP), which would officially begin in 1970. Johnny Moss went on to become the first player in history to win the WSOP three times. At the end of this five month poker marathon, down an estimated $4 million dollars, Dandolos uttered what has become one of the most famous poker quotes ever: "Mr. Moss, I have to let you go." Fatigue was a major factor for Dandolos' loss as he was more than 15 years older than Moss. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson can throw a playing card up to 71 mph and has cut through everything from bananas to melons with a card. (He got his nickname from the length of his hair!) Barbara Enright was the first woman to have reached the final table of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $10,000 no limit hold'em main event. She finished in 5th place taking home $114,180.00 after her pocket eights were outdrawn by 6-3 suited. Matt Damon and Edward Norton, two of the stars of the 1998 film, The Rounders, actually played in the 1998 World Series of Poker (WSP) in Las Vegas. During the first of four days, Matt Damon had pocket Kings and was knocked out by former world champion and poker legend, Doyle Brunson, who held pocket Aces.
