The most frightend people are the ones who use the word "fish" to describe an opponent.

FYP.
Well, the spelling anyway.
No idea what your point is. I'm obviously missing something.
Is it a crossword clue?

Q.
My take on the above is that quris is getting at the fact that some Fish hide behind the fact that they can label others as "fish". Just as some homosexual men hide behind homophobic statements. I have heard players call others fish when the so called "fish" had the best hand with two cards and still had the best hand when all seven were dealt out. Indeed, the "fish" bet it down and got paid off.

They doesn't stop the play being very fishy or are you levelling us here? I am always a little slow on the uptake with these things.

Oh and to the OP - how many times must we ask? Wat?

Hi Rek,

The part of my post you quote was just intended to illustrate what I thought the OP's point was. Namely, fish call others fish in order to cover their own fishiness but they fool no-one.

I once saw a fish finish third in a pot and go on a huge rant against the winner for being a fish (winner was a fish but so was the name caller). The player who came second played it perfectly but got rivered by a hand that should not have even left the starting gate.

Hi Al

Yeah I get your point sorry. The one's that shout "fish" the loudest are often the biggest tuna in the sea.
