In Poker, a dead man's hand is two pair, aces and eights, two of each with another card of whatever. This is the hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding at the time of his murder on 8/2/1876
Two aces & two eights, called a dead man's hand. Legend has it that's the poker hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot dead in Deadwood, South Dakota.
This term is also used for a hand that is very good, but not a winner (so you are definitely going to lose money on it).
Example:
You are holding AA in Holdem, and the flop brings AKK. Now if your opponent is holding KK, which gives him four of a kind, you are holding a deadman's hand, since you are very likely to put lots of money in the pot, or even go allin, with a losing hand.
