Re: \"I Play the Board,\" I lose the pot, I miss a bet.
I am not going to reread the particulars of a month old thread, but there are some important rules to rember in poker. The best hand wins, if you want to win at the showdown without the best hand you are either a nit or an angle shooter (either way you should go back where you came from and leave the players alone). The floor is going to rule in the best interest of the game, if that means invoking their right to rule contrary to the written rules they will do so. A common mistake made by people new to poker is to think that there are written rules that tell the players and everyone else how to play. The way written rules came about is by writing down what happens in the game. The game was played first; if the rules don't reflect what an experienced floorman rules, it is the rule that needs to be changed.
