Immortal ( poker )


An unbeatable hand, based on circumstances. For example, in seven-card stud, on the river
(the last card, dealt face down) you have four aces, and no one shows two cards to a straight flush,
so no one can have you beat. You have an immortal. Also, any perfect hand, as a royal flush in high poker,
or a wheel in low poker. This term is frequently found in poker literature, particularly that of years gone by,
but is not at all common in card rooms. Also called immortal hand, immortals, mortal nuts.
