| First rate |
| Kind of flush |
| Loser to a pair |
| Like some hands |
| Sort of straight |
| Like some flushes |
| First-rate straight |
| Like certain poker hands |
| Hand that loses to a pair |
| A pair of deuces beats it |
| Like a great straight, in poker |
| Like the best straight in poker |
| Anaconda loser, almost certainly |
