In the world of poker, a big hand is exactly as it sounds - a big hand.

If you have the absolute BEST hand, you will likely say that you have the "nuts".

If you have a very good hand, you will likely say that you have a "big hand".

For instance - a big hand might be something like a set of 5s on a board of 2-5-Q. This isn't the "nuts", though a set of 5s is a very big hand that is almost certainly ahead of everyone else.
