the subject and the verb have to agree. The subject and the object do not. John does not like eggs. I do not like hookers. He or she does not have any hooker eggs. Someone is in the kitchen with Dinah's nine sisters. In this case, the object itself isnt even plural, its a singular described with a plural posessive. "Their hand" is just one hand. Just like the poeples' champion is just one champion.

Jack and jill have a hand. Someone is playing against them. He does not know what their hand is.

Granted, this is not the message one would typically be attempting to convey. However, the sentence is not grammatically incorrect in and of itself. Presented without context (which is is) as merely a showcase of the words there and their, there's nothing there. It just doesn't mean what most people probably think it does.
I don't disagree with any of this other than I disagree that it disagrees with my post.

My only complaint is that he used a plural pronoun for a singular antecedent. That's never right and is more a usage complaint than saying the op (of our beef) was structurally unsound. He wasn't. As you pointed out, his sentence could be easily diagrammed.

...you are a middle aged man wearing a Hulkamania muscle shirt, complete with intentional rips in the back. Furthermore, this guy was using a Hulk Hogan action figure as a card protector.
He was predictably awful, loose-passive and unable to release two pair on a four-straight/four-flush board where his hand was such an obvious instamuck. Also, he did not have a physique that should be seen in public in a muscle shirt.

When you ask for a new deck of cards.

If someone opens a bad suited gapper like 73s at showdown and announces it is 'his' hand

I see alot of people buy in for $40 in 1/2 and get stacked twice an orbit, buying in for the minimum every single time. It used to bother me until i started being the guy stacking them most of the time.

Players using the term fish..........its so 90's.....Players tagging other players as guppies are guppies themselves

You regret when you fold 85 and the flop comes 488 and you announce that disappointment to the table after the hand is finished (or sometimes during the hand knowing the poor etiquette that fish players usually have) .

When you hand your player's card to the dealer to get swiped in along with the lanyard to which you keep it attached.

Oh yeah, I love it when the guy with the card on his "slot leash" sits down. It's pretty much guaranteed that he'll limp-call raises preflop and fit-or-fold postflop the first half of his buy-in away, then spaz shove or spaz call off the rest. If you are lucky, there's another BI or two behind.

I was gonna say, these are the greatest players lol. They're basically dead money and its low variance dead money and if you do happen to lose to them you just win it back.

-You get mad at players for calling your huge raises pre with garbage

-You ask the dealer to wash the deck

-You wear sunglasses

Anytime somebody asks for scramble and especially new setup. That **** irks me.

Unless the cards are marked or something there's no reason to ask for new anything. Total waste of time.
