Dead Man's Hand
It’s considered bad luck in poker to be dealt a two-pair hand consisting of black eights and black aces (regardless of the hole card.) The dead man’s hand got its name because, according to legend, they were cards held by Wild Bill Hickok when he was murdered in the Old West in 1876.
