No. A-Hole. Because it is the best drawing hand worthy of limping and getting big money for your trouble.Or someone will correct me

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.

The doctor of style Slick from the old WWF coined it back in the mid to late eighties.

Check out this old RGP thread, specifically Mike Caro's posts regarding the definition:http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.ga...20c87127510688bPatrick
Oh and slightly off topic, this is by far the biggest list of hand names I've seen:http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.ga...76baa685b?hl=enPatrick

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 :club: 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. Thanks to everyone who provided info in that good little poker history lesson! :D

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.

Except that the term 'big slick' has been around far before the Exxon-Valdez spill in Alaska. As for why Santa Barbara? Not sure... I can't find anything to attribute that to in the RGP archives.Patrick
