I might like to live on the moon... although I doubt I'd be eligible for a place... not being a science whiz or owt

From this point on, this post is just wrong! 176435[/snapback] Li3nZ in "Taking something out of context" shocker

More than likely we never went there. 176428[/snapback] don't start that nonsense

you got to wonder why they were able to get a bloke on the moon in 69, but despite advances we're still no where near having a moon...base..thing? nigh on fourty years later

quick question should pictures like that have a NSFW tag for the porvorts who like to spunk on lactating boobies?

I did cheese ball, like three pages ago...

... no one wants to call spongey on his arrogance? anyone? no-one? how droll 176362[/snapback] I wasnt being arrogant though , this is just something I know about. I play about 30 hours of poker a week, usually playing 4 tables at a time, I spend another couple of hours a day studying the game, reviewing hands and reading poker forums and poker books( I have 23 poker books I will forward you a reading list if you want). It is like the most basic rule that you make the best 5 card hand from the 7 available. 176365[/snapback] do me a favour!

put the spoon down.

Argentina? he's mexican... ruddy nora he's a shady character!

I never intended my username to be a description of my nature, but I bite more than most... I think it's become pretty apt.

I was never arguing that sponge was wrong just that the reason I gave the answer I did was because it was the way I'd been taught. I said pages ago that Sponge might be right, but my argument was no longer about the example and was instead defending my reply. If Sponge had said "Whey that's fair enough if you've been taught that way bu tghe offical line is X" but he didn't, he just kept having a dig at me and declaring that he was right. I don't mind admitting that the way I learnt is probably not the official way. it doesn't change the fact that "I'm wrong" but it does defend Why. Yes DB I am Arrogant and am not a fan of admitting when I'm wrong, but in this case I did accept that my way was not the official way and that Sponge's is. The reason this thing trolled on for 5 pages is Sponge wanted to lord it over me instead of being gracious and I found that objectionable. I don't give a crap if this thread makes me look stubborn as a mule, end of the day I was asked a question answered it using the best information I had at the time, when someone came along and challenged it, I replied to his counter and only got arsey when his desperation to hear me say "I'm wrong" got the better of me.

look you've been taught one way and in your suprising arrogance you decide to dictate that your way is right and mine wrong. Well I never professed to be an expert and only gave my opinion as best I could. I never said "I'm right you're wrong." I only said "I'm pretty sure I'm right" and in fact said that your war could in fact be right. You chose to continue this "debate" despite dismissing my explanations out of hand and basically being a twat. you call me a troll and an idiot, but face facts. The way I was taught mean less split pots and did not in anyway change the "General" rules (that you posted) of texas hold em poker. so quite frankly, get off your fucking high horse and accept that perhaps the way I've been taught isn't "wrong" but just different. I never once claimed it was a definitive answer, just the way I was taught.

AAAKK Q3 Q2? best hand doesn't ahve anything to do with your pocket cards. this is the way I've been taught

where the best possible hand is not purely from the board. AAA109 Q5 Q3 Q5 wins because he takes the trip Ace, plus the Queen and 5 in his pocket if the board read AAAQ10 and the players had 95 93, then it's a split pot. The best possible hand has nowt to do with the pocket cards. Like I've been saying for fucking years (but you merrily ignore in your quest to be able to say "I was right and you were wrong" in a marvellous example of arrogance, beyond even what is expected from me) this is the way I've been taught, and have been taught this to reduce the saplit pots because split pots run against the idea of Poker.

I really enjoy proper debates. get a grip man

.. fucks sake it's not hard to understand in exactly the same way as it's not hard to unsderstand that it not the idea of poker to have split pots. if their is a fair and obivous method to reduce the frequency of split pots then it should be employed. I've been taught that IN THIS PARTICULAR AND RARE INSTANCE, you take the pocket cards of the final two players into consideration.

Whereas I am saying I am right and you are wrong because ... I am right and you are wrong. 100% 176206[/snapback] ... and I'm the arrogant one?

in that case you're playing a full house on the board, which is different to the situation that was first described. but how about KKKJ10 you hold A7 he holds A6 the best possible hand is KKKAJ for both parties, however in the way I've been taught... you have in your pocket a better hand than your opponent. As such you win. can you see the logic in the way I've been taught? 176199[/snapback] Split pot again. 176205[/snapback] can you see the logic in the way I've been taught?

Q3 is better than Q2 so Q2 should win by your logic 176203[/snapback] ... read the example which caused this furor, then read your example.... if you can't see the difference I can't be arsed to argue.

seriously man, I'm not saying "you're wrong I'm right" I'm saying that the way I've been taught reduces split pots which is in-keeping with the idea of the game. your way might be right, but as I've said pretty much throughout this thread I'm "pretty sure" which incidently does not mean "I'm 100% sure" tell a man black is white his whole life he'll believe it to be true.
