[Still the Spank E]

...it's spelled Coltrane--unless there was some pun there that I was missing. More importantly, however, what I should have written was "any two suited or small pair," or words to that effect. I appreciate the correction, however.

While I'm on the subject, here's another one for the list:

THE BERATOR (I'm not near a dictionary--is this spelled right?): This guy is good enough to know the kinds of lousy hands his pocket AA are being drawn out with (K2s, for example), but either can't accept the kind of beats that come with playing 2/4 hold 'em, or doesn't know how to stay away from more such situations (i.e., nobody told you to call--much less reraise--when the third flush card hit the table). His only defense is to berate the "offending" player, making the table an uncomfortable place to be, and running the risk of scaring off the joker who insists on playing this way. I WANT Mr/s. K2s at any table I play at, thank you very much, so please save your "learned opinion" for the bus ride home.
