In a 1/2 game about a week ago: I raised preflop, got one caller, bet out on the flop and turn, he calls both bets (I was in the BB and he limped on the button) Finally I gave up on the river when it read Q T 4 9 K and I had A5 suited in spades. I said you win, couldn't imagine what he could call all my bets with that wouldn't beat A high with no kicker. Just prior to flinging my cards into the air flying towards the muck he tabled J7 of diamonds (one diamond on the whole board, one on the flop) and said "Thought I might make a hand", I just smiled and still folded my hand, first time in my life I have ever intentionally folded a winner but felt obligated to do so. Am 99% sure that in this room if I had shown down I still would have been awarded the pot.

Huh. Didn't he have a straight?

Yeah, I am confused. Where does the poster think A high beats a K Q J 10 9 straight?

Y'all always look too closely at the details of these things. Just go with the spirit of the story and you'll be happier.

I don't think you used "spirit" here in the right context and "y'all" isn't a word.
