please settle an argument for me

Well, at the circus circus once, the lady to my right laughed and flipped over suited aces. No lie.

Here come the pit bosses to remove the shuffling gizmo, replaced the dealer, gave everyone a complimentary meal, and generally sucked up to us.

Some sort of malfunction with the in table shuffling gadget.

Just reread that chapter, and Sklansky mentions "having two aces (wired) and a third ace flops" This could potentially be misinterpreted as five of a kind b/c a third ace flopping might be interpreted as a flop of three aces. Combined with the holecards that makes "five" aces. Naturally, impossible with a 52-card deck, but I can see a neophyte being confused. This is the only thing I can think of.

Thanks, Deveroast..... that's pretty much what I figured it would turn out to be.

I finally came to my senses and decided that the prevailing opinion was correct.... I'm actually the bigger idiot for arguing this point with the poor fool. The correct strategy in this situation is to look for him/her at the tables and hope I can get in on the game!

Thanks to all of you who responded, even if I was being foolish for bringing this idiocy to a second forum when it should have died an early death on the first one!

Someone's photoshop skills didn't factor that in.

This is a known joke to rile people up.

In BBV parlance, you are being leveled.

The guy knows you can't get 5 aces and is just trolling trying to make people get angry. The trick to this one is when multiple people have heard it before, so you join in with the guy who brought it up and say "yeah, I've seen it too, its because of the community cards", and people just get more and more mad at the "idiots".

FYI.




I used to be a stage hand and there were known jokes like this in that biz, too, as I assume there are everywhere. As a stage hand it was the "spare bubble" or the "cable stretcher", and it goes like this.

Old hand: "Hey kid, this microphone cable isn't long enough. Can you go get Dave's cable stretcher for me?

New guy: "Dave, Mike wants to use your cable stretcher."

Dave: "Oh, I lent it to Bill."

Bill: "No, I gave it to Bob."

Bob: "I think the cable stretcher is in the storage closet."

New guy spends an hour ripping apart the storage closet, when Al wanders by.

Al: "What chu doin' kid?"

New guy: "Looking for the cable stretcher."

Al: "Oh, I gave that to Steve. Put this closet back together 'eh."

And so on.

There's only one book to settle this argument:

What I'm surprised at, is why nobody is asking this guy the right question:

"What time and at which site could we play together?"
