Maybe Doyle Brunson should have got 1 after this:

?Jay Terrell: Ok gezzers, it?s a monkey to go!
Doyle Brunson: How many players in the hand dealer?
Jay Terrell: There are 3 punters in this coup geeze
Doyle Brunson: Floor! I can't understand a word he says...'

I'm not sure it works with dialects. I'll have to take it back on the road. Preferably Newcastle.

my favourite one is after a pass of someones bet after the river!

"i knew you had trips" or "i knew you had the straight" = i didnt have the balls to stick it in with the better hand and didnt have a clue what you had!

I had to hear this all night on Monday in Notts  - not mentioning names

Great post.

I always love the line of "How did you call there?!!?", which translates to something along the lines of "You obviously worked out my bluff with a medoicre hand when I quite obviously had nothing. But if i insult you and made it look like it was you that played the hand wrong everyone will respect me and I'll look fantastic."

Guy playing last night got angry because the dealer insulted him -

"Monkey"
"What did you call me?  "
"500 to play - a Monkey  "

And what's so insulting about being called a monkey??

[snoopy1239]

I thought you were 'monkey boy'. Isn't there a difference?

Hold my hands up to that one. (although sometimes i really don't know how they called for all their chips with K high!!!)

I certainly considered including this one, Phil, but I'd don't think it's 100% conclusive. I reckon about 50% of the time, the case you suggest applies, but for the other 50%, it ends up being:

'How did you call there?' = 'You hadn't the foggiest whether you were behind or in front, so took a stab in the dark and got lucky.'

However, once or twice I have had your response float through my mind when I've been caught red-handed.
