      No, I know what you mean ... it's just another way of saying nice play.

        right but if the board is irrelevant and it ends pocket kings beats a smaller pocket pair, for example.

        guess i'm just tired of hearing "nice hand"...lol...

          I rarely hear nice hand when just a pocket pair beats everything out on the full board.

                I may try that. If some guy flops the nuts, instead of saying nice hand, I think saying "nice cock and balls" might be the way to go.

                change things up a bit, you know?

                    If it wasn't a nice hand they would have said dumb bluff.

                      How many times do you think Jennifer Tilly has heard, "Nice pair" ???

                      I've always wanted to be at a table with Matusow, Negreanu and Hellmuth, any of the loudmouth cocky SOBs, and when they're in deep thought about their next play just let a really big fart rip. I'm talking about a fart that would shake people out of their chairs three tables over. Are there any rules against farting at a poker table?

                          Nope,just be careful around hellmuth,he may want a closer view of the source.

                              In a quasi-related question, why do people say, "Bless you," when someone stifles a sneeze?

                              Call me a hardliner but I say, no sneeze - no gesundheit.

                                  It's better than whining about the cards.
