Beer Hand
Noun
The pocket cards 7-2 offsuit.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The beer hand has the worst chance of winning of all possible pocket cards in a full table playing Texas Hold'em. It is slightly better in short-handed games because the fact that it is not possible to make a straight or flush without hitting four appropriate community cards is less important in short-handed games.
EXAMPLE: "I had pocket rockets cracked by the beer hand last Sunday. I was so pissed off."
