The queen is a playing card with a picture of a Queen on it. In many European languages, the king and queen begin with the same letter so the latter is often called dame (lady) or variations thereof. In French playing cards, the usual rank of a queen is between the king and the jack. In tarot decks, it outranks the knight which in turn outranks the jack.
In several card games, including the middle eastern Trex and French Barbu, the queen is a major card to avoid taking, with each queen taken inflicting a penalty on the player. Similarly, in Hearts, the queen of spades is to be avoided, and is called a variety of unsavoury names.
In the Paris pattern, each court card is identified as a particular historical or mythological personage as follows:[1][2]
| Hearts | Diamonds | Spades | Clubs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Judith, Biblical figure | Rachel, Biblical figure | Pallas, an epithet of the goddess Athena | Argine, an anagram of Regina (Latin for 'queen') |
Cultural references[edit]
Regarding the anonymous nursery rhyme, 'The Queen of Hearts' (published 1782), Katherine Elwes Thomas claims, in The Real Personage of Mother Goose, that the Queen of Hearts[clarification needed] was based on Elizabeth of Bohemia.[3] Benham, in his book Playing Cards: History of the Pack and Explanations of its Many Secrets, notes that French playing cards from the mid-17th century have Judith from the Hebrew Bible as the Queen of Hearts.[4] See also: Queen of Hearts (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland).

Here's a hand from a World Series of Poker event from last summer, one in which I have a big pocket pair that I end up playing cautiously both before and after the flop.
It was the 600/1,200/200 level and I began the hand with about 80,000. The hand started with a player who had about 35,000 to begin opening with a raise to 2,800 from under the gun. It then folded around to me in the cutoff seat where I was dealt .
If I knew the UTG player was especially active, I would three-bet here every time, and if I knew he was tight I would definitely call. I had no notes on this particular player, though, and when that's the case in this situation I will usually call, which is what I did.
The big blind who also had about 35,000 to start the hand called as well, which meant there was 10,800 in the pot when the flop came .

Both of my opponents checked, and despite the coordinated board I decided to go for value and bet 4,000 with my overpair. Only the initial raiser called. The turn then brought the and this time when my lone remaining opponent checked, I decided to check back. As I say on the video below, I feel like at this point I'm in marginal shape.
The river then completes the board, and my opponent bet 10,500 (more than half-pot). Take a look at what I decided to do, listen to my reasoning, and think about how you would have played this hand:
Would you bet when checked to on this flop? What about the turn and river? How would you have played this situation differently?
