The GrannyMae, Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], named after one of the founder posters in the Zoo.

The convention that grew up with it is that in Limit it has to be raised at every opportunity, and you have to type "GRANNYMAE!!!" when it wins.

It was said to have mystical powers when played that way. There were certainly some miraculous hands posted in the Zoo two or three years ago.

For some reason, everyone in Alberta called 92o the Montana Banana. I don't know if I ever heard that expression anywhere else.

Everytime I see a "nicknames" thread I feel compelled to repost this particular post -- supposedly from rec.gambling years ago -- in the hopes that someone can explain the hands or potential hands described:

I wandered down to the place by the lake, near the Shiloh Inn, to participate
in a little 10-20. Here's what happened....

I get the 4-seat in what looks to be rock garden, but the fun is about to
begin. 3 hands in, I'm 4 left of the button, and this transpires:

I'm dealt bandanas. It's called to me, I raise it. Goes on call, raise, call,
raise, cap. Called capped all the way around, and I'm thinking "Sweet!" Flop
comes down a potpourri, and I've got the nuts. Comes raised to me, I
re-raise, winds up capped with *7* callers. Yes, seven. I don't know what to
think. I'm a little nervous about 6-seat. I've seen him before, and he's a
cold rock. I don't know what to put him at. Wired handbags? Inside edge?
Green Hornet draw? I just don't know. Initially, I would've thought
rockets... but he wasn't sitting up straight enough.

8-seat is also familiar, but I know her style. I put her at Caracas Maracas
and not worry about her; she'll call to the river; free money. 2-seat's hands
are actually SHAKING as he bets. He's obviously got a Michigan going on, and
that worries me a little bit... so I try to scare him off and put him on tilt
by pulling off the famous "try to re-raise the cap". He doesn't fall for it
-- not even a flinch. Could be trouble...

I'm not even sure what I want to see on the turn. You're probably thinking a
black Pollyanna would lock this up, but keep in mind that there are still a
lot of unknowns going on -- it could easily help someone else just as much.

Anyway, not to worry... the turn: RED RAG. You should've seen the look on 3
and 5 seats. It was comical. Well, there's two gone at least.

Quick betting, and once again it's capped, but only 4 left. Me, 2-seat,
6-seat and 8-seat. Now it gets interesting. RIVER: black flamingo. Even the
dealer was amused.

It comes checked all the way to me. What can I do... I bet it. It then gets
RAISED... FOLD, FOLD. Yes! 2-seat folded. Man, I'd love to know what he had.
Anyone hazard a guess?? After the turn, I'd thought he was trying to catch a
flag coming off third, but clearly that was way off. Anyway, that's a whole
discussion on its own.

Back to me, and just 6-seat left. Me and him, mano a mano. Again, what can I
do? RE-RAISE! And, believe it or not, he RAISED IT RIGHT BACK AT ME. What can
you do?? I mucked it, and he took it down. I still can't believe it.

Thinking back, there are a couple of things that come to mind. For one, had I
been a little more aggressive earlier on, I may have managed to get myself all
in -- and that could've forced a showdown and avoided this whole experience.

Or maybe, when you've got 7 callers, you just know to get the hell out, no
matter what you have.

Let this be a lesson!!

Comments??

Even without understanding exactly which hands might be discussed, it's still an awesome post.
