Poker: Texas Hold 'Em - Two queens?

Question

What is does the slang name mop squeezers referring to?

Also:

K9 and sawmill?

72 - hammer?

Just like to know more about the game.

Answer 1

Q♣Q♠ Ladies, Broads, Whores, (and just about any other slang or derogatory term for women), Hilton Sisters, Siegfried & Roy, Swinging Udders, Mop Squeezers, Dykes, Canadian Rockets (My guess would be since I've seen Canadian Rockets or  Canadian Aces for Q-Q that someone in must think of Canadians as femine and whoever came up with that nick thinks that of Canada LOL (that is all I can think of......stupid huh))

Can only assume some man thinks of a woman as a maid cleaning the floor, squeezing a mop...that is the only thing I can think of...but I'm just a woman...what do I know (nothing against you personally, just the lovely people giving the starting hands nicknames) LOL

Hole cards of 7 & 2. "Dropping the hammer" refers to winning with this worst starting hand in poker

K-9 -- I've always heard as Canine

Answer 2

another possible reason for mop squeezers is that the Q's look like the rollers that squeeze out mops that janitorial staff use.

Answer 3

The story of the sawmill hand goes back to an old time player called Cowboy Wolford who went broke playing K9.  After the game he and a buddy from the table were driving past a sawmill and he said that he'd bet the hard working guy they saw there would never go broke with K9.  The story got passed around and the hand became known as the "sawmill."

Canadian Rockets is another name for QQ although I've no idea why :)

King Cobra Poker

Answer 4

The QQ appears to be two rollers for an old fashioned mop bucket with a mop squeezer on the top.

Here is a link to many of the names of starting hands for Texas Holdem. Maybe it will help.
