Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If I'm holding "the big slick", what are my down cards?

Answer: A K

The Ace-King combination is referred to as this because it has the potential to be a great hand. But if it is not matched to the board, it is a "slippery slope downhill."

2. What two down cards are known as "the dog"?

Answer: K 9

King-Nine or K9 is known by this term by the way it sounds like "canine" when it is pronounced. Get it?

3. Which of the following sets would be a "dog catcher"?

Answer: A 7

A7 would be a dog catcher since it is higher than "the dog", K9. Any two cards with at least an Ace, a pair of any number, or a King and another card higher than nine would be considered a "dog catcher."

4. What could I be holding if my down cards were "wired"?

Answer: 4 4

If your starting cards are "wired", that means you have a pair for your hole cards. This is also know as a "pocket" pair.

5. Which four card draw is a "belly buster straight draw"?

Answer: 4 5 6 8

This is a kind of straight draw where one inside card is needed to complete a straight.

6. What would I have if I had a "boat"?

Answer: Full House

It's not sure where this nickname came from, however, this is the hand that Leonardo Dicaprio's character in "Titanic" had to win his tickets on board. Coincidence, maybe?

7. A rainbow flop assures that no flush can be made for that hand.

Answer: False

It does decrease the chances, but it doesn't rule it out. Say the flop came hearts, diamonds, spades. If two hearts, diamonds, or spades came on the turn and river, then a flush could be made.

8. What are you holding if you have "pocket rockets"?

Answer: A A

This is called "pocket rockets" because its the best starting hand in hold'em. What else could it be?

9. Which of the following hands is a "Brunson"?

Answer: 2 10

This is the poker hand that won Doyle Brunson the WSOP Main Event in 1977 and 1978.

10. If a poker player says, "I'll raise you 35 dimes", how much are they going to raise you?

Answer: $35,000.00

A "dime" in poker means [$1,000.00], so 35 "dimes" would be [$35,000.00].
