So when you win holding 55 you are supposed to say aloud (or type) "PRESTO" and if someone answers you back with Irwin? you have found a new friend!

There is also another rumor that there is a card room somewhere across the pond that is at 55 Presto lane and that is another thought where the word "Presto" came from.

huh? what? well, card "squeezers" may appreciate this... when you see the first card and it is an Ace, then you squeeze out the second card....if it is a four, you see the "conehead" of the four at first and your heart leaps a bit with excitement (another Ace!!), then you examine more closely, and you are quite disappointed. transvestite. smile

Don't ask. I used to play at a club in NYC where there were a lot of Cambodian and Laotian players; this was their favorite hand. ...dan

Tunica Players and dealers will appreciate this. A dealer had told me that one time while playing with Jimmy, she had noticed that trash cards were hittng the flop quite often especially 6`s and 3`s, so Jimmy wins a huge pot after she told him to play the 63 off he was holding. Thus was born the "Jimmy Sommerfield".

Once, while playing down on the coast, a player wins a big pot. He slaps his cards down on the table and announces "I`ve got a Jimmy Somerfield!". Then Jimmy says "Let me introduce myself, and shows the player his ID.

I was Dealing a four eight game one night to Jimmy, a few other dealers and a bunch of locals. A fairly loose game. The pot is capped six or eight way action. Jimmy announces preflop "I`ve got my hand !". Nobody believes him when the flop comes 6 6 3 He gets four or five callers to the river. Monster Pot!
