Re: what would you do?
[ QUOTE ]
I announce 'nut low' Not to be a nit, but not only is your statement stupid (it's not high/low) but even if it were, you don't have the nut low. The nut low would be A4. [/ QUOTE ] Actually, "I play the board." would probably be better.

A 4 would be Ace high... and technically you aren't playing the board, but you can't be worse than the board. if that makes sense lol oh and if I'm dumb enough to muck my cards, I don't expect to get the pot, so i can't see myself giving the pot away if I were on the winning side.

If the board was something like 678TK, he would be playing the board. And the first guy -- complaining about saying "nut low" -- he is a nit.

Re: what would you do?
If the board is 678TK, he's got a straight and we're not having this conversation (with the OP's 45...). [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: what would you do?
By the rules of poker, OP is entitled to the whole pot. By the rules of human decency and common sense, opponent should at least get a chop. Believe it or not, the rules of the latter do (or should) hold at the poker table.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, that changes nothing. The point is that the OP could not conceivably have had the best hand, and accidentally tricked his opponent into mucking. You don't go into a hand hoping to win it when your joke at the end confuses your opponent and makes him muck the best hand at showdown. Opponent was an idiot and OP did nothing wrong, but keeping the whole pot in this instance would strike me as a sort of retroactive angle shoot.
