Default Re: For Those Who Enjoy Meaningless Semantic Debates

im confused: can someone tell me WHICH card is NOT in your hand by luck?

i always get a kick out of the observation "nice hand", and the reply, "thank you"--as though the holder of said hand is somehow responsible for it being there.

'Ahead' in my opinion would mean who at a certain point is winning the hand. At the point in question he is ahead with a pair of Jacks to your King high. In the same way,

Kh Qh is not ahead of 2c 2d on a board of 10h Jh 10s, despite being a 71.465% favourite.

If he flipped up his pocket 2's and pushed all in for $400 into a $2 pot would you fold because you were "behind?" If your answer is yes, you should not be playing poker.
