Question about Rounders...

When Damon flops the nut straight, what hand do you put Teddy KGB on?

I'm thinking along the lines of high two pair but I'm not for sure...

Anyone else have an opinion???

I put Teddy on my right hand because on the other hand your English makes no fvcking sense.

 
I'm pretty sure he flopped it, I haven't watched it for a while but I think he held 8/9os and flop brought 6,7,10 rainbowed...

You don't have to be a genius to figure it out, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it wasn't English.

 
I understood every word in this thread so far, except "nut." Can someone explain it to me before my imagination runs wild?
 
"The nuts" = an unbeatable hand at that point in the game. Talking about the hand in question, Mike McD held 89 of spades, flop came 6,7,10 rainbow. At that point, his straight was unbeatable.

Nut = best possible. KGB had pocket tens for a set of tens on the flop, a truly monstrous hand, unless it's against a straight. Had the board paired when Damon was slowplaying, guarenteed he would've broke down and cried.

When you have "the nuts" you have a hand that can not be beaten. No other combination of cards in the other persons hole cards, or on the turn/river, can beat the cards you have.

I'm not a genius and I knew what he was saying. It was definitely English and I understood what he was saying. And it seems like you're the only one here that didn't understand what was going on. :thumbsup:

when did I say I didn't know what was going on?

exactly...
 
I see no problem with the grammar in his post other than the preposition at the end and the "for" before sure. Could you elaborate on the so-called problem?

flopping the nut straight = common poker lingo. i doubt there is a problem with the grammar. perhaps one could take issue with the use of the slang verb. one can assume that "to flop" is a transitive verb and that "the nut straight" is its direct object.

to put someone on a hand = common poker lingo. i don't see any problems there, except the aforementioned preposition at the end.

it may be common in the poker world, but it doesn't mean anything by itself. My point was that if he uses poker lingo to post a question to the off-topic portion of a geek forum on a poker issue, he should already know the answer to his question.

edit: or something.... 😛
 
I don't go to a YAGT.org and posts about SCSI, ohms, or VPNs and expect everyone to know WTF I'm takning about so why post poker lingo on an OT, computer forum?

 
OK, so you have basically assumed that someone like me who has played less than 10 hours of poker but who watches lots of it on TV knows as much about poker and is as skilled at it as someone who does it professionally (or at least regularly for money)?

I thought NUT was referrin only to the best possible hand in that category only, ie: nut flush vs nut straight. So there could be TWO nuts on the table possible, if I understand it correctly.

Or he posted it in poker lingo in hopes of avoiding replies from people like you that don't get the poker lingo 😉😛
