The Hilton Sisters and Poker

Dr. Hiltons"The Hilton Sisters" is hip lingo and a nickname for the Texas Hold'em hand of Q-Q. In the past, pocket Queens were referred to as the Ladies and even the less politically correct term, Siegfried and Roy. Since my brother Dr. Pauly often overuses the term "Hilton Sisters" on his poker blog and in his articles, everyone generally assumed that he invented the nickname. He's very quick to correct everyone. "I never invented the poker nickname the Hilton Sisters," he said. "I heard it on a World Poker Tour broadcast. Vince Van Patten was the first person I knew who used the phrase. I liked it for obvious reasons and used it a lot." After some research, it appears that WPT announcer Vince Van Patten originated the phrase. But if you ask my brother what his favorite hand is, he'd say, "The Hilton Sisters."
