how do you say "bet/call/raise" in spanish? thanks

[BeantownCaller]

Nosotros necesitamos HUMBERTO para ayuda!

Haha...5 years of spanish and I can't even conjugate. I think I got the words right though. I love Humberto that costa rican dude from the tube.

I know how to say "Un cerveza por favor."
Beyond that, what more do you need??

I can also say "Tres huevos ruebelltos y un cafe."
(3 scrambled eggs and a coffee).

And I can count to 20 and know most of the days of the week.

That about covers my espanol knowledge (not including my new-found knowledge from this thread).

I don't know if you can/should add a 'yo' in there or not.
I think if you are saying "I understand" it is typically "yo comprendo" and not just "comprendo".

I think if you add the "yo", it is for emphasizing only. If you say "yo comprendo" it means more "I understand and you don't".

Did you just pull that out your ass?

[Baulucky]

Actually the "yo" is optional, but it's more common to use "yo comprendo", etc. And in general most people use "yo" with whatever verb they are conjugating.

For Bob: It's "huevos revueltos". Also "Una cerveza", since beer is used in the "feminine".

I'm spanish speaking, but I don't know spanish poker terminology!.

Any further spanish lessons come at 1.5 time my poker EV per hour. (Call or PM for latest rates).

how would you say 'limping' 'limped'?

[MicroBob]

Yeah...I'm not surprised. My GF doesn't really slow-down for me if I ask a question. She just says what it is and moves on and I can't always tell exactly how it's spelled/pronounced.


And when I say it back at her she just assumes that my accent sucks and that I'm really trying to say a V and not a B...or that I really did say UNA cerveza and not just UN cerveza.

She's a really lousy teacher to be honest....but she can never understand why I want to know any of that random spanish crap that I'm never likely to use anyway.

[MicroBob]

you guys did catch the thread where I wished my GF's family a "Happy new anus" right?? ('anus' and 'year' are easy to mix up for the spanish illiterate such as myself)?
They were quite amused.

When I played penny-ante at 9 yrs. old with my cousin visiting the town where my mother was born, they used "Voy" (translation "I go", equivalent to "I'm in"). But really I haven't played real poker with any spanish speaking people, only on internet.
