 		[PUZZLE] Blue-#143-Pocket Rockets
So yeah, I didn't even realise this was wave 2 until doublecross posted mini pictures of wave two cards, and I saw this was one of them. I checked here, and oops. So, here is the third card I received from the Clapham Hunt. Don't bother trying to use the code, I've already claimed it, and only one person can use a code.

 		The front of the card says:
Quote:
The most popular poker variant, Texas Hold 'Em, starts with all players being dealt two cards face down. These hole cards are crucial to the game and many of the 169 possible combinations have gained their own nicknames. Dreaming up amusing names for these hands certainly helps pass the time during a long drought of good cards.

Only 6 of the starting hands listed below feature in the photographs. Can you name them?

Dead Man's Hand/Sunset Strip/Dolly Parton/Flat Tire/Raquel Welch/Big Slick/Snowmen/Broderick Crawford/Kicks/Union Oil/Darth Vader/
San Francisco Bus Boy/ Fishhooks/Johnny Moss/Harry Potter/Cowboys.

The hands:
1)King of clubs, King of hearts
2)Ace of Spades, 8 of clubs
3)Ace of clubs, King of spades
4)9 of hearts, 5 of clubs
5)4 of clubs, 4 of spades
6)10 of diamonds, 4 of hearts

The back of the card says:
Quote:
Maitland Museum
If you visit the Maitland Museum of Antiquities, your normal sequence of reactions will be familiarity, fascination, awe and then finally understanding - and this is usually repeated several times during a visit. The museum holds an unparalleled collection of pieces dating as far back as 3000 BC from across the world, presented and explained superbly.

 		Having spent far too long playing texas hold'em I can safely say here are the answers:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1. Cowboys
2. Dead Mans Hand
3. Big Slick
4. Dolly Parton
5. Darth Vader
6. Broderick Crawford

Although I have to confess I hadn't heard of no. 6. Is this an American term?

 		Thanks, Ryandrew! Wink

Not wanting to make it *too* easy, all the answers can be found here. Cool

***edit***
1 minute too late. Oh well, so much for 'working for it'... Confused

***edit again***
Inquisition,
There are a lot of slang terms for that one, all basically meaning the same thing... including:
Broderick Crawford or Broderick (from 50s "Highway Patrol," who said "10-4" into radio)

 		Heh, I had already solved it, but figured I would let everyone else have a go.
