What are the most common Pot taking lines that you use or have heard over the years.

Let's start with one that everyone pretty much knows.

"SHIP IT!"

"SHIP IT!"

Boy, when someone says this, its difficult for me to think of anything other than punching them in their nose.

I agree with you 100%. I hate the line "Ship it!" and want to hurt people when they say it. It isn't the bragging, it's just that it's soooo lame...and I hate when people think they're cool...because they're not.

I was playing in a tournament one time and a the chip leader busted someone out on the bubble on starts screaming and singing ship it baby ship it. I almost felt a little bad for the guy who lost with top pair. If it was me I may have gave her a few choice words but hey, it put me in the money.

And that's exactly the reason why many people say it. A'holes abound.

I agree. But I say it anyway. I find it's funny to say after I steal the blinds.

Wow, I'm not alone in being annoyed by that phrase. I heard it said last night when I lost a big pot, and I wanted to throw my card-weight at the guy. I'm still fuming this morning (great session though, overall).

I like to play like a 'gentleman', but it's good to know saying this might give somebody who's teetering a push into full-blown tilt. One can't have too many arrows in the quiver.

I've never had a problem with someone saying, "Ship it!" Is it supposed to be arrogant?

I prefer the classic, "Shoot the sherbert to Fat Herbert," but only because I am vain about my ample girth.

I always smile when a regular at my cardroom wins and says "Send me the cookies!"
