Dead man's hand is a term commonly used in poker to refer to a specific hand of cards. The hand consists of Aces and Eights, but there is one other card that completes this infamous combination. The additional card in the Dead man's hand is the Queen of Hearts.

Legend has it that the Dead man's hand got its name from an incident involving Wild Bill Hickok, a famous Old West gunslinger and gambler. In August 1876, Hickok was playing poker in a saloon in Deadwood, South Dakota when he was shot in the back of the head and killed. The cards he was holding at the time of his death were reportedly Aces and Eights, with the fifth card varying in different accounts, but most commonly believed to be the Queen of Hearts.

Since then, the Dead man's hand has become a symbol of bad luck in the world of poker. Many players believe that being dealt this hand is a sign of impending doom. Some even consider it to be cursed, and refuse to play a hand with these specific cards.

Despite its reputation, the Dead man's hand has also become a popular and iconic image in pop culture. It has been referenced in movies, TV shows, and even video games. Poker enthusiasts often use the term as a way to describe a particularly unlucky or ill-fated hand.

So, the next time you're playing poker and find yourself holding Aces and Eights, just remember the story of Wild Bill Hickok and the Dead man's hand. Whether you believe in superstitions or not, it's always interesting to know the history behind the cards we play with.
