At that rate, 9999 would be a dodecaGretzky.
Since there are three combinations of cards to give '99', I called it
a triple Gretzky.
Mrs. Flusher informs me that not only do we have a split Gretzky if
the nines are not together, but if they are on the ends it is a 'Wide
Gretzky'.
For Quad 9s I have been known to call them 'four of a nine'..
We also call out the Dead Man's hand which poker players will
recognize - Aces and Eights. (Anyone know what the fifth card was?)
