Time for a clue.

The word "dead" appears both in the nickname of this hand, and the name of the town where it was shot into the history of the old west.

Dead Mans Hand.

Wild Bill Hickock was holding this hand when he was shot & killed in Deadwood South Dakota.

You... are correct... sir!

Most accounts say the 5th card was either the queen of hearts or the jack of diamonds .

That's what I've heard too. But the fifth card really doesn't matter, and this is a really nice picture.

Nor does it really matter that he probably wasn't carrying a Colt revolver either but they are one attractive looking firearm.

So are you saying that there's a chance I might get killed while playing poker? 😱

I have to inform my life insurer about this dangerous hobby then. 🤣

LOL!! No worry about that.

Unless of course you get caught pulling a couple of aces out of your sleeve. In that case all bets are off.

Hickock supposedly never sat with his back to the door , but the last time he didnt follow his rule and made a fatal seat choice .
