I was thinking “Arch enemy”. I’ve played Texas holdem but “flop” was the only term I’d heard. Didn’t know the other terms, but I have a feeling I’d seen this in a Connections puzzle before. Solve rate was about as high as an actuarial exam pass rate - never seen it that low before.

Didn’t know P aside from the fact that it was a bunch of cities. Also didn’t know all the Boston team nicknames but thanks to Y solving today’s puzzle was as easy as A’s B’s C’s….

Not much of a trick for B, so I figured it would have been G, otherwise would have had double reverse. Seeing Housh brought back memories of this commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs1N5NYyb24

Had an Iranian friend with a similar name, complained about people mispronouncing her name. She got a good laugh at that ad.
