There’s a certain kind of streak in the gambler that foretells a proclivity for pain. Due to the volatile nature of chance, poker is often a sadist’s sport, in that you know if you play long enough, you are going to eventually get caught in a hard spot at least every now and then.
Out of this kind of mindstate, certain players have been known to take the worst hand in poker online, the 7-2, and turn it into a weapon with which they must win a pot. Winning a hand with the worst hand in poker can feel like you’ve really reached the peak of stealing, of taking what is not yours, which is one of the greatest feelings in the game for some.
As a result, the seven-deuce has earned the nickname ‘The Hammer,’ among those who would try to take it to the mattresses, rather than folding it away like most any other player would. The thrill of bluffing, and showing the Hammer to a table full of other players, is like a trophy on the shelf, one even more hard won, and representative of manly will, than maybe any other idea in the game.
Raise it up when you play poker online!
