Where have I heard this before?
Tuesday night at the Friendship Club.
Dealer: "There's the last card. Johnny Mac is first to act."
Johnny Mac: "I bet $6"
Dealer: "Mr. Singletary, $6 to you."
Mr. Singletary: "I call."
Dealer: "OK, show 'em... Looks like Mr. Singletary has the nut flush... and... full house down here for Johnny Mac, fours full of aces."
Dumbass #1: "Why didn't you bet the full $12?"
Dumbass #2 (The "Hat Man"): "I'll tell you why! He didn't know what he had! He misread his hand! HAR HAR!"
Johnny Mac: "HA HA - you got it! I'm a freakin' idiot! You guys caught me! Duuuuuuh! "
Mr. Singletary: (very thoughtfully and slowly) "No, no, no. He knew what he was doing. If he had bet $12 I would have folded."
Dumbass #1: Really? An ace-high flush is a pretty good hand!"
Mr. Singletary: "It doesn't beat a full house! I thought he was just betting a smaller flush!"
Honestly, I still don't think those guys understood my reason for the $6 bet, even after Mr. Singletary explained it himself.
