1. Is a set only a set when you have a pocket pair that hits the board (66 on A63 flop) or is A3 on a 337 flop a set too?

(I always insist on the latter jsut being trips whilst the former is a set and get peed off when people suggest otherwise, but this may well be one of my irrational pet hates!)

2. Is 67d on a 345d board the nut flush, or is it just the nut str8 flush with Axd being the nut flush?

3. Is cheryl or nadine the more attractive member of girls aloud?

4. Duck in orange sauce or crispy duck with pancakes?

5. Which is the best hand, the hand favoured to win by showdown, or the hand that's best if the dealing was stopped now?

6. Best WSOP champ of recent years.......Moneymaker, Raymer, Hachem or Gold?

7. David Sklanksy is mathematically gifted but quite likely insane. Fair comment?

8. UFC champ vs boxing champ vs finest hand-to-hand fighter plucked from all the world's armies vs finest streetfighter in a 1 on 1 round robin caged enclosure match. Who wins?

9. Most skilful sport?

10. Harrington's books suck/ rock?

One word answers or more involved explanations for one or all of the above would be greatly appreciated. Ta!



EDIT: Forgot the most important one.

11. Bourne or bauer?

Thought the thread could do with this RE Question 3:

1. That's the general convention.

It's so samey and boring writing about poker hands though. If an author wishes to break from convention with a little variety in language, I'm not going to throw vegetables at their head. (So long as their's no ambiguity, elsewise the hacks will taste cabbage. )

2. Good point, perhaps a distinction needs to be drawn between nut flush and nut-flush.

3 & 4. Depends on your mood I guess. neither have too much ginger in them.

5. The hand that's best if the dealing was stopped now. After all, it helps the Omaha experts out when this convention enoucourages people to mis-understand draws.

6. Pass, Moneymaker has the best name though.

7. I like the guy, always got respect for those who choose to teach.

8. The promoter

9. Dunno, but I'd look for one in which a professional could whip an amateur 100% of the time.
Elephant Polo

10. Never read em, but they look good on the shelf.

Never really felt the need to curl up with it, the meat seems to have been discussed ad nauseum on internet forums, or earlier works by Sklansky etc.

11. You don't need an answer, you already know in your heart.

both

2. Is 67d on a 345d board the nut flush, or is it just the nut str8 flush with Axd being the nut flush?

3. Is cheryl or nadine the more attractive member of girls aloud?

4. Duck in orange sauce or crispy duck with pancakes?
cripsy

6. Best WSOP champ of recent years.......Moneymaker, Raymer, Hachem or Gold?

7. David Sklanksy is mathematically gifted but quite likely insane. Fair comment?

9. Most skilful sport?
poker

10. Harrington's books suck/ rock?
suck

11. Bourne or bauer?
bauer

You can't handle one woman sweety, you've got no chance with 5.

Still, wouldn't it be nice to die trying?

bit old for you you aren't they Ian?

1. Is a set only a set when you have a pocket pair that hits the board (66 on A63 flop) or is A3 on a 337 flop a set too?

only with pocket pair

2. Is 67d on a 345d board the nut flush, or is it just the nut str8 flush with Axd being the nut flush?

nut

3. Is cheryl or nadine the more attractive member of girls aloud?

dunno

8. UFC champ vs boxing champ vs finest hand-to-hand fighter plucked from all the world's armies vs finest streetfighter in a 1 on 1 round robin caged enclosure match. Who wins?

UFC champ

9. Most skilful sport?

figure skating

10. Harrington's books suck/ rock?

rock

11. Bourne or bauer?

Bourne

pmsl nice one boo! lol

I can't comment on all of those, so just the highlights:

1. I'm with JC on this and always have been; it seems that every poker commentator/manual/etc. is against me, but I reserve the term 'set' purely for pocket pairs that trip up.

2. Yes, the ace high flush is the nut flush. But it may not be "the nuts"...

4. Crispy Aromatic Duck, served with pancakes - and Hoi Sin sauce. And spring onion and cucumber. (P11, as it's known at my local.)


Bourne v Bauer? Perlease.... Cats v Monkeys!

I think i'd lower my standards in their case :D

p.s.  hush fool

hush fool

FYP

hey where did you fools get a group photo of my ex's

from the elgin escort service, where else?

this one quite clearly came from skanks-R-us.com

  9. Panther stalking.....

rotflmfao

mooooooooooooo

The judge was very rash in issuing that restraining order.

I'm sure nadine misses the rustling noise coming from her bushes during those cold winter nights.

Panther2003 :)

7. AS far as the sklanksy insanity comment, i think he comes out with the strangest things.  The last one i remember was how anyone voting for a female president should be taking into account whether they might bring the country to war through a bad reaction to pmt. He seemed shocked people didn't discuss this possibility regularly!

Liked the "do you see why" comment. WP.

4. Very tough call. I go for duck in orange sauce as i associate it with roast duck in orange sauce with all the trimmings, roast tatties, honey roast parnsips and swede, glazed carrots, sweet potato mash, gravy, boiled beans in butter and pepper, ....mmmm trimmings. Crispy duck with pancakes et al will always be a dominant force in the culinary world though. It's just mismatched by duck in orange sauce's army of followers.

1. Yeh set is pocket pair that has matched up. I'm sticking with it. Everyone who thinks differently is WRONG!

3. Too close to call. Based on the fact only mourniho wants ashley cole's sloppy seconds, I go nadine. MFI, you are a cheat!!

8. UFC champ all the way.

10. They rock surely. I know a lot of good players view them as a rather unsophisticated attempt to make poker into painting by numbers but they are accessible, well expressed and coherent in a way many other poker books aren't. It's unlikely you'd become a major force purely following harrington but I think his advice would turn a lot of losing players into winning ones.

9. This is a tough one. I think things like snooker and darts highlight the skill levels of individual players more so than things like football and rugby. Very very rare an inferior snooker player will beat his superior opponent over any reasonable session. I guess this is true for athletics events too. Toughie.

2. Not 100% convinced but intuitively i always think the nut flush would be Axd and 67d is "merely" the nut straight flush. Eveyrone seems to agree with this so I'll go for it. Baaaaa.....

5. I phrased this badly. What i meant to say was "who is ahead in this particular scenario...?

 Kd Qd  or 2c 2s on a Jd Td Ts flop.

ie the "made" hand of 22 or the big favourite KQd?"

6. I guess this depends on your criteria. I go for raymer personally but hachem might well be the better player.

11. Bourne all the way. Master of disguise, doesn't need a backroom staff of ctu agents to help him out. Fist fight, he'd annihilate bauer.

22 is ahead, KQ is the fave.

1. Is a set only a set when you have a pocket pair that hits the board (66 on A63 flop) or is A3 on a 337 flop a set too?

I would say the first one, but I am a fish remember.

2. Is 67d on a 345d board the nut flush, or is it just the nut str8 flush with Axd being the nut flush?

Yes, I agree it was a tasty pizza. Next time I would prefer larger mushroom slices though

3. Is cheryl or nadine the more attractive member of girls aloud?

Ahh this is an easy question to answer  :D. I admit to having no idea what their names are, but the blonde on the far right is the most attractive. They are all nice, but I have never been convinced by the member who is at the back of the pic.  What is her name?   

4. Duck in orange sauce or crispy duck with pancakes?

I don't eat duck, they are nice cute little chaps

5. Which is the best hand, the hand favoured to win by showdown, or the hand that's best if the dealing was stopped now?

Remember and put extra tomato chunks on that pizza please and give me a bottle of that diet coke as well please.

6. Best WSOP champ of recent years.......Moneymaker, Raymer, Hachem or Gold?

I like Joe Hatchem and Greg Raymer. They always seem down to earth and nice guys. Moneymaker appears to be a good bloke from what I have seen in Snoops interview, but I have never read/watched as much as the other two, so it is hard to judge. Gold appears the complete opposite to the other three, even before he won the event, during his interview on the circuit show he seemed like an arrogant and unlikable geezer. Mike Matasow even said he was a prat

7. David Sklanksy is mathematically gifted but quite likely insane. Fair comment?

I tried to read his books, but I am far to thick to understand them. They should come with a free voucher for paracetamol.  I prefer simple books to read and understand, I just hope Mr Men bring out a poker guide 'Mr Men's guide to beating NL' soon.  I would personally choose Mr Tickle to present this book, I feel he would be an excellent choice to explain the game to a wide audience.

8. UFC champ vs boxing champ vs finest hand-to-hand fighter plucked from all the world's armies vs finest streetfighter in a 1 on 1 round robin caged enclosure match. Who wins?

Ryu would always win this, he is  :)up

9. Most skillful sport?

There are so many.  Rally Drivers are artists on four wheels, DH mtb racers are artists on two wheels. Each of these demand bravery and amazing handling control by the competators which is as instinctive to them as breathing. Snooker and Chess are also very skillful. 

10. Harrington's books suck/ rock?

They are tough going, I got half way through the first one and then gave up. I actually like internet sites far more, they are to the point and can be very informative.

11. Bourne or bauer?

I like both, but I may have to say Bourne on this occassion. Bourne has excellent fighting skills and if I had to choose one to be on my side while fighting out of a secret enemy compound in the jungle, it would be him. Jack is great and for intelligence he would be my choice.

9. Most skillful sport?


Tennis?

Athletic and Skilful; and one of the ones where the best in the world is fairly indisputable.

Good answer, I'll probably say Tennis the next time.

. Is a set only a set when you have a pocket pair that hits the board (66 on A63 flop) or is A3 on a 337 flop a set too?

A set only a set when you have a pocket pair that hits the board

2. Is 67d on a 345d board the nut flush, or is it just the nut str8 flush with Axd being the nut flush?

the nut str8 flush

3. Is cheryl or nadine the more attractive member of girls aloud?
They are all nice.

4. Duck in orange sauce or crispy duck with pancakes?

crispy

5. Which is the best hand, the hand favoured to win by showdown, or the hand that's best if the dealing was stopped now?

the hand that's best if the dealing was stopped

6. Best WSOP champ of recent years.......Moneymaker, Raymer, Hachem or Gold?

gold cos he won the most $ and beat the most players- tosser though. (well ok raymer....)

7. David Sklanksy is mathematically gifted but quite likely insane. Fair comment?

Barking

8. UFC champ vs boxing champ vs finest hand-to-hand fighter plucked from all the world's armies vs finest streetfighter in a 1 on 1 round robin caged enclosure match. Who wins?

army guy- will use the concealed weapon when needed

9. Most skillful sport?

water polo no harder physical sport- the skills needed- all players need to be able to both atack and defend.     also like chess

10. Harrington's books suck/ rock?

Rock- always find out if your opponent has read these books- if yes- thenyou probably know where you are.


11. Bourne or bauer?
bauer is cooler- bourne is harder

Is that really the only reason why we like them though?

They are good fire starters.

you can put your coffee on them if you don't want any nasty stains on your coffee table and are too lazy to get a coaster.

Anyone else have any ideas on what to do with the Harrington books?

Give them to your opponents to read.

rotflmfao rotflmfao

Flushie , you do know that drawing a crayon c**k and balls in the margin doesn't mean you've read a book right?

"Harrington on holdem; A cock and balls story" nice title.

This gave me a chuckle. :)
