Default \"What did you have?\"

What do you typically say when asked by an opponent that folded to you "What did you have" or "Could you have beaten XY?" I play almost exclusively internet SnG's, so I'm especially interested in this situation, but all comments are welcome. My replies are the usual boring "I don't remember" or just "yes" or "no" at random.

I generally make no response.

If I wanted him to know, I could have shown my cards.

I was in a very nice hand once,

flop was 5,6,9 rainbow

opponent puts in a good size bet, I reraise him allin.

he thinks very long and hard and finally folds and turns over 55. He asks me what I had. To which I replied:

"It added up to 15"

he didn't like that.

Online, I generally just ignore them. In person, I just smile at them. Drives 'em crazy!

I had a guy who continually cried to me to show my cards after he folded to my bets. We were playing a sit and go, and were down to HtH. He had been proudly showing a good 70% of his hands that weren't called all game long, so I had a very good read on him. I ran him over head to head, and boy, was he mad!

say either "cards" or "suited pair" like "suited Aces"


If you really want to mess with them, say "pocket rats"

If they ask what it is say "i don't know."

My standard reply is "pocket deuces". Really pisses people off. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
