Things you hear at the table

Paying poker Saturday night:

Two guys were betting back and forth. The board read: K-7-K-7-X. First guy had a King, second guy had a 7. When they started to push it to the first guy, the second guy said: "I had a full house."

The dealer showed him the other guy had a bigger full house. Then she said: "Your house was in the wrong neighborhood."

Heard at the table:
Q: "How do you have safe sex?"
A: "Make sure her husband is out of town."

**

Blinds were 100/200/25 and I raised from late position to 600 before the flop - both blinds called. The flop was: Q 7 4.

They checked to me and i bet 1325 and the small blind called. The turn was the 4. SB checked and I bet 1325 again. The SB had A J and moved all in. I snap called.

"Do you have a boat?" the SB asked.

Instead of answering, I simply turned over 4 4 for turned quads.

The lady next to me said, "Nice hand." The she inanely added, "And you didn't have to worry because nobody could have a higher set of quads."

Um, whatever. She's right that there was no pair on the board other than the 4s. The day I have quads and start worrying about somebody having higher quads will be the day I take up tiddlywinks.

    Unless it's a cash game and there's a bad beat jackpot. Then it's a day to pay off some bills and have a roll behind you to consider a move up in stakes.

    You clearly don't play much Omaha!

  4. Quads. Sweet. Then your opponent goes all in drawing dead. Super sweet. NH, sir.

  5. Sometimes I think that the set up hands by sites like Full Tilt and PokerStars lead us to believe that the odds are 50/50 that someone will have higher quads ...
