Raquel Welch — an old-school slang nickname for a pair of Queens (Q‑Q) as hole cards in Texas Hold’em.
Explanation. The nickname “Raquel Welch” comes from the Hollywood actress famously associated with glamour and the word “queen.” It’s part of a broader tradition in poker of assigning celebrity-based or humorous nicknames to pocket pairs—e.g., “Anna Kournikova” for A‑K or “Dolly Parton” for 9‑5. While not widely used today, some players still refer to pocket Queens this way in casual live games or online chat. Its usage is playful and adds color to poker lingo but does not carry strategic implications.
