Eubie
Eubie is a nickname for the starting hand eight-six.
The simple explanation
Eubie means holding an eight and a six. The name comes from table talk: players joked that if you play this hand you will end up broke. It is a weak starting hand and is usually folded.
A closer look
Eight-six has two low cards and a one-card gap, so it can make straights, especially when suited, but it does not make strong pairs. Even if you hit a pair of eights or sixes, you are unlikely to win with it, and two pair might not be good enough either. As with other nicknames, the term describes the cards and does not change how to play them.
A practical example
A player is dealt 8♥ 6♣ and says, 'Eubie.'
Full explanation
Eubie is a nickname for the starting hand eight-six.
Eubie is slang for the hold’em starting hand eight-six. The name is a table-talk nickname, from the idea that the hand will leave you broke.
The hand is weak. It has two low cards and a gap, so pairs made with it rarely win and straights are not common. Suited, it can make straights and flushes, but it is rarely worth a raise.
The usual advice is to fold it before the flop and wait for a better hand. Players use nicknames like this for fun, and they are not standard strategy terms.
