Kendren 1 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Well, you see, one day years ago Doyle Brunson, Wild Bill Hickok, George Washington, Brett Maverick and of course Dan Harrington were all at the final table of a big tournament. So Washington picks up AK off in the SB, and just calls Maverick in the BB, and when comes over the top, Washington calls and beats Maverick's KQ. Brett says "That was a pretty slick move". Thus the name was born.Or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites

Big Country 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 According to http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/forum/...ck-why-7834.htm, Mike Caro mentions that AK used to be called Santa Barbara due to an oil spill some time ago, and the name evolved into Big Slick.So far that's the best I can do.

muhcat 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I had always wondered this myself so I'm glad someone brought it up and I just happened to come across it.. I dont know what is really true since it seems to be getting a bit out of hand now but the oil spill thing is interesting. i'm glad i dont have to call it santa barbara.. sounds weird for some reason. no offense to anyone who lives there, i just mean for the name of a hand.

honestabe 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 So I get that it is named after an oil spill in Santa Barbara, but why in the world would it be? What I mean is... neither the words "Ace" and "King" nor the letters "A" and "K" seem to have any relation to the events in Santa Barbara, which is in California, not Alaska.I would think it would be named after the Exxon spill, which was in Alaska, postal abbreviation AK.
