I was the first BB in a single table and said "I like to go all in on my first BB." I proceeded to look down at AA and got 2 callers.

River went check check with some a-hole "I have a 4 card flush." Board was [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] He says "good" and mucks. Dealer says "Jack high wins." The guy then says "you said flush" everyone at the table simultaniously says "no he said 4 card flush." Everyone hated this guy to say the least (so did the dealer).

What am I missing? Didn't your aces win the pot? Was it a very small main pot and large side pot?

Re: The \"Never Say\" Book
 

This has happend to me 2x.

Being asked "hey do you have cards?" or "are you in the hand"

And the worst, "how much do you have left" Its like dude, just bet any amount. (usually when asked the player has a big hand)

Or when Player A take a while to make a decision, then it comes to Player B, and he jst has to waste as equal time to fold (obviously) like the 5minutes Player A took wasn't enough!

I hate to tell you, but you are the mouth breather. "Two pairs" is grammatically correct. If you have one pair (that's singular because there is only one). If you have more than one pair then it's plural, yielding "two pairs." Although, it seems that using the word pair in the plural sense is gaining acceptance, so I'd have to say that both are acceptable, but "two pairs" is more consistent with english grammar.

Damnit it's "it's" when used as a contraction and "its" when used as a possessive. I only bring it up due to the irony of poor grammar in a post relating to grammar/diction.

I think the thinking behind the poker usage of "two pair" lay in the idea that at a showdown every player has exatctly one "category" of hand. "Two pair" is a category just like "straight" or "one pair".

Personally I use "two pairs", but can definitely see either as being acceptable.

I don't get what's wrong with either of these.

I like this. When you have a flush, you don't say "I have 5 suited cards". So you have a "two pair" hand made up of two pairs. I'll be in Vegas tomorrow, and I'm making it a point to use "two pairs" as often as (correctly) possible. Maybe it'll help tilt the nits.

Re: The \"Never Say\" Book
 

Both "pair" and "pairs" are correct pluralizations of the word "pair."

Anyone who speaks about a hand in progress while not involved deserves the KNITN routine.
