What's a good response when someone asks you what cards you had?

"Oh, am I supposed to look at those cards in front of me?"

I find it's more in your attitude - just be light and smile with whatever you say. I had a guy ask me if I had the flush, and I just smiled as I mucked my cards and said "was there a flush out there?"

[jetsg4]

i usually say "flopped a str8" or "flopped a boat"... even if the board is j10j... say you flopped a str8..

I usually say:

"I had the nuts with a draw to the nuts".

This usually makes them think long enough to shut up.

If they ask again, I repeat the answer and tell them that if they can't remember the board, then I can't help them.

Very simple response....'You Got to Pay to See!'....'Slide me XX $$ and I'll tell you, if you 'trust' me'....works for me....used it 100's of times...

I just automatically LIE in whatever direction fits the situation.

Usually to fit with my DESIRED table image...

or

maybe

just always say:

'Pocket 4's'

LOL!

Doesn't matter, but I rarely tell the truth just like the pros SEEN ON TV! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So yesterday, a young kid folded to my bluff raise after the flop came J-J-2 (I had Q-9). He said, "What'd ya have?" I just shrugged and smiled, and tried ignoring him. He kept pressing, "What was it, K-J? J-10?" Finally I politely said, "You have to call if you want to know my hand", and he said, "Bro, it's a $3-6 table, this ain't the WPT, so just relax and tell me your hand." He was looking at the other players like I was the biggest a-hole in poker history.

the kid's right, this is only a 3/6 table. don't be a dick to the fish. you said you just ignored the guy, thats not very cool of you. didn't your mom ever teach you any manners? at least have some decency to talk to the guy. if you didn't want to tell him what you had, you could of just lied and got it over with. a simple "yes, i had J-10". would that of been so hard? you said this was a real good table, as such you want to keep the fish happy. and wtf are you doing bluff raising with Q9 on a JJ2 board? i hope this play isn't part of your regular arsenal.


heres something similiar that happened to me, except i did the correct thing instead of being a dick to the fish. im playing in my regular 8/16 game at ocean's 11. i had just gotten moved to the main game and this table was live as fuk. horrible players all around. i was up like 2-3 racks within the first hour at this table. the guy sitting to my right was a total donk fish who was just spewing chips like crazy and he was a friendly guy too. then this hand came up. its a kill pot, a few limpers to me. im on the button with QJo. i call. flop comes something like J-9-2. checked to me, i bet. get 2 callers, one of them is the guy on my right. turn is another jack. guy to my right now gay bets. i raise. the third guy thinks for a long time then folds. the guy on my right then thinks for awhile then folds also. he then asks me in kind of sad way "did you have the jack?" i show him the jack to keep him happy. he tells me nice hand and says he had Q-10 for the open ended, the other guy said he also had the Q-10. see, now why would you want to piss this guy off by being a dick? if i had ignored this guy and just mucked my cards, you think he would be happy? no, he would of probably be pissed off and left. im not saying you need to show your cards everytime, but do what you can to keep the fish happy.

Forgot my old standard: 'I can't remember.'

That I like best...
