Default Kids say the darnest things...

I had my monthly neighborhood home tourney on Saturday. We were about an hour into the tourney when my 3 year old son comes into the room and sits on my lap.

I had cards in front of me. He edged up the corners of the cards to see what I had. He cupped his other hand around the cards to protect the content of my hand. He was obviously imitating me (or others he has seen on TV).

He turns to me and wispers so about half the table can hear: "Daddy, you have Ace, King!" I tell him "shhhh', but the guys who did hear him were in hysterics.

The board was K, 7, 3. I avoided the possible angle shot by folding. I actually had a J , 9 in the big blind and got to see a "free" flop.

I don't think I could have trained him to that. It was priceless.

Great story...but depending on stack size, the bet put to you and the number of hands still in play, I may have tried to re-raise and still that pot.

I would have bet that flop. Deal with the angle shooting argument if anyone calls.

I'll have to train my son to do that :P

hahaha, classic!

I would have had to steal the pot and then show them... "What, you believe everything a 3yr old says?"

I think I'm going to have to talk to my wife about having kids a little earlier than planned. This could be a goldmine!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

So I have 3-year old also. My story is not quite as good, but it was hella funny at the time.

We are in the middle of a game of blackjack and my son is sitting on uncle Rays lap, supposedly for good luck. The first card comes out and is a face card.

Uncle Ray: "Dealer Gimmie an ACE!"
my son : "Uncle Ray, You want an ACE?"
Uncle Ray: "Thats right I need an ACE."
my son : "You want an ACE?"
Uncle Ray: "Yeah an ACE."
my son (moving up to Uncle Ray's ear like he's gonna tell him a secret): "Well NO ACE FOR YOU!" (at the top of his lungs.)

The whole table busts up. So the rest of the night my son is singing "NO ACE FOR YOU!" to any one that will listen.

Of course Uncle Ray didn't spike his ace either.
