"i had one of your kings!"

ditpoker

two players all in, you're holding KK, but your opponent flips over AA... and then you hear someone at the other end of the table say "i had one of your kings" ... does anyone else get annoyed by this? all it does is it says 'ha, you've even less chance of winning now' or it says to the chap with AA if he does get outdrawn 'WOW, you were a MASSIVE favourite, what a bad beat!' ... i know i'm guilty of saying it every now and then, and i dont like it myself when I say it....

i saw a hand recently where AQ was all in vs AK, then three players chimed in with 'i had one of your queens', so the AQ knew he was drawing dead before the flop had even hit.. does this not take the excitement out of the game a bit?

I believe players who say this generally dont seem to see the wrong in it. I think they imagine it only creates more excitement.
Just watch Jason react to someone saying this in the fitz when when he's in a hand. Its hysterical!.

I remember Simon trumper i think it was tell a story of a big game in england where two players flopped a set before all the money in went in. One had kings the other queens. Another player not in the hand said "i folded a queen" so the kings player relaxed watching the turn as the queens player sat dejected. The the river came........a queen!.
The moral is dont always believe what your told!.

Is it really that big a deal? The chips are in and you're just waiting to see the board. I don't see any harm.

guy beside me last night in se said it to a player, and the all in player told me to shut up in future i told i didnt say a thing, he gave me a non-believing look.
but any way that narky kunt then goes and says the same thing to an all in player when we were playing on the bubble.
I do think its bad form no one likes to hear there behind or drawing dead.

I hope you told him to shut the **** up Shane.

In response to breadmonkey if its no big deal why say anything? I never feel the need to say what I had or to ohh and ahh when I'm not in hand where I would have flopped something good. It's irrelevant. Sure I might joke about it after but in the middle of a hand just let it play out I think your time is much better spent watching the all-in players reactions as the cards come down because the guys feel they can be unguarded in those all-in moments and you can sometimes pick up someinthg on them that you can use later. Much better use of your time then saying "I had a king" imo.

In last years WSOP Phil Ivey was at a table where two guys were all in pre-flop. One turned over a pair of tens (the other guy had a higher pair I think).

As the flop was dealt Ivey said "I folded a pair of 10's". The guy looked at him horrified. The turn was a 10 and he said "You lied" with a surprised look on his face (this actually seemed to be a genuine look of surprise). Ivey, dead pan, said "Sorry, I meant 8's".
