Snowmen (Poker)
Snowmen is the Holdem starting hand 88, due to the fact that they look like a pair of snowmen (also known as Octopuses). This hand is known as a middle pair and a pretty good starting hand.
There are lots of nicknames used at the table, for instance Big Slick is AK, ducks is a pair of 2's and ladies are a pair of queens.
A single eight is also known in the singular as a Snowman, a Fat Lady or Ocho. Like most other pocket pairs, pre flop they are fairly strong however the real money is to be made either by no overcards on the flop of hitting a set. It is usually a good strategy to get in cheap and if you hit, win big.
