Korean hand?
 

I've sometimes heard of 74o being referred to as the "Korean hand". Anybody know the origin of this?

Thanks,
Adam

You're playing with racists. No, jk, had never heard that before.. Sure you're not confusing the Q 7 Computer Hand?

Some people think korean players play really bad, that's where the term comes from.
I'm part Korean and I don't play bad [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've heard of 2-3 being called the "Asian Big Slick." It was a dealer of Vietnamese heritage who told me that.

I'm all Korean and I play terrible. So it makes sense.

A dealer once told me that 74 was "Cambodian big slick."

Asians in general are terrible at poker.

Non-American born Asians have too much pride for poker.

I was told (many times) that it's called a "Cambodian" because some pro from Cambodia won a big hand with it. A lot of asians in NY definitely like to play it. They play it all the time like it's got some magical powers.

I have to say that I've lost more than one huge pot to it.
