Misc Gambling Trivia Thread

Let's try something different, so if you have time, join in.

Please provide input (information), or challenge the forum membership with a trivia question.

Since I am primarily poker, I will ask poker related questions to start things off (goggle is available, but do you know it off the top of your head, or can you figure it out, or take a guess).

Q. Where exactly was Texas Hold'em invented?
A. Robstown, Texas

Q. Why did Johnny Chan keep an "orange" at the table? (you will remember it during the Chris MoneyMaker run that year.
A. (Let's hear your answers)

Q. What is a J4 in hold'em nicknamed and why?
A. ?

 

A1) For the scent, which he found pleasant, as smoking bothered him (was allowed at the tables back in the day).
A2) Flat tire

 

Q: In hold'em, every single straight contains either a ten or a 5, so it is often said the holding T5 can make all the straights. Name a straight that can not be made when holding T5.

 

Dave got them both correct above, although he didn't say it: What's a J4? A flat tire of course.

 

What Broadway show's plot is themed from a casino game?

This is off of the gambling a bit. Question: What was the name of Hoss Cartwright's horse in Banaza? Just askin.

 

Hoss's horse was named Chub.

Little Joe's horse's name is Cochise.

Ben's horse was Buck.

Adam's horse is unofficially called Sport.

 

SkyKing's plane name?

 

Very good teach. I have won a few "bar b ets" by asking that questions about Hoss'es horse. Just sayin

 

Sports Trivia questions: Which Major League Baseball team had the only infield consisting of nothing but "switch-hitters" to play in the world series? And what team did this? Actually this is probably is easy question. Just sayin.

 

I'm a baseball junkie, yes easy - Dodgers 1965

1B - Wes Parker 2B - Jim Lefebvre SS - Maury Wills 3B - Junior Gilliam

What player played for every national league AND American league team in 1973?

 

all straights will hold at least one of these cards, but no straight can hold both cards; LOL

 

LOL;;Straight, slang for heterosexual

 

Hey DrAikens, nice to see someone take a shot at answering this! I figured it was to boring since no one bothered. lol

No, not what I meant, you don't have to use both cards... standard hold'em rules, you can use 1. There is one straight that you can never make when you hold T5.

 

the only other answer i can think of is a four card straight, 9,8,7,6

 

here is another thing i figured out about a four card straight, only one of them does not have and ace in it.
ace king queen jack (10) (9,8,7,6) (5) 4,3,2, ace,not sure what your answer could be, this is like a four flush,

 

a guess by me, like the movie, maybe rounders

 

i think there must be a term use , like straight , that is poker slang of some sort.

 

it just came to my mind, you said name a straight that cannot be made holding t5, if you have t5 in your hand, then you can't make any straights,.
