From your post, it sounds like you won the hand. I think it is better to only say it if you lose the hand. You are graciously conceding defeat. When you win the hand and say it, it (shouldn’t necessarily, but) might come across like rubbing salt in the wound.

With that we are sitting at 15/30 [I am on his right UTG +2] I raise and he 3 bets..I say "Nice Hand". About 3 hands later he brings it up that it really annoyed him I said this...

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm going to be the idiot to bite -- I don't get it.

You said this preflop? On the river?

After you won the hand? (you didn't indicate any of this)

... if he won, go ahead and say nice hand [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

It annoys me too. There is no such thing as a "nice" hand. There are only winning hands and losing hands. I never say "nice" hand to anyone and I don't acknowledge anyone who says it to me. Now if you say, "well played", I might feel differently. But I wouldn't want you saying this in front of other players at the table either.

Some of the original meanings of the word "nice" include Foolish and Ignorant, so perhaps someone who says "nice hand" is using it in this context to vent frustration without the target realising it. I will occasionally type "very nice" online after a bad suckout as a way to vent.

IMO saying "nice hand" before the flop even hits is stupid. It's like saying "good game" in the middle of the first quarter.
