Name That Flop

The flop at a recent live tournament was 4-9-7.  And we pointed out something interesting about it.

"That's a Wal-Mart flop - 4-9-7."

Several players got our joke -- but one man had to explain $4.97 is a common price-point at Wal-Mart stores.

Maybe it's a sign that we've played too much poker, but we've moved beyond giving our hole cards code names (such as the relatively common "Gretzkys" for 9-9).  Now we're putting names on flops as well - and since everyone sees the flop, we can openly state those names.

We mentioned one of those names a couple of years ago: the Boeing flop -- which actually could be several combinations of cards.  If you see 7-2-7, 7-4-7 or 7-6-7, all could be Boeing jets.

So now it's your turn.  What card combinations can you concoct, which deserve a special name?  Have fun....
