Montana Banana
The pocket cards 9-2, either suited or offsuit.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: It is a widely asserted myth that this nickname originates from the legalization of poker in Montana by Proposition 92. However, poker was legalized in Montana by the Card Games Act, 23-5-311.
Some people also have argued the term comes from a joke that bananas will grow in Montana before that hand makes any money.
The actual origin of the term is unknown.
EXAMPLE: "I had Montana Banana and quickly folded."
A spin on Montana Banana is Joe Montana Banana which is the hand 9-4 suited or offsuit, because Joe Montana was a San Fransisco 49er.
And now you know!
