Default yin yang suited

The big cards can be a little confusing to a white guy in Cantonese and that's because Ace is Yeen, or Ying, or Yin, right in there, phonetically, and King can be either King or Wong. So ace-king can come out sounding, to me, like anything from Yeeng King to Yin Wong.

A guy raised and I reraised on the button and everyone else got out and the raiser called. The flop was Q-J-9 and we both checked. The turn was a blank and we both checked. The river was a blank and we both checked. My opponent turned over 10-10 and it was good.

One of my best Chinese buddies said "Ace-king?" to me, knowing full well that I would ignore him except that I didn't. With one hand in my lap region, I curled my fingers toward thumb until touching, and I moved my hand up and down in a slight though unmistakable impression of a stroke and squirt. It lasted only long enough for me to say, "I got your yin yang right here."

And he said, "Suited?"

Tommy,

Ying Yang derives itself from a state of natural balance in where there is an existence of harmony between opposites. Dark Light, Cold Hot, Evil Good and so forth and so forth.

In Poker the balance of the game lies within a ying yang too where there is weak-aggressive, tight-loose.

In this example, you use ying yang incorrectly as both you and the opponent are both weak and post-flop passive, thus clash in harmony leading to a state of chaos. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Tommy,

In the spirit of Christmas, how about a hand where someone had the stones to bet against you.
