Just saw a three-way all in situation preflop over at David Sklansky's table in which the hands involved were , , and .
Sklansky watched with a bemused look as the player with aces repeated the mantra "No kings, no jacks!" prior to each street. The player got his three wishes, and as he had both of the others covered he eliminated two more players.
"Thank you kindly," said the winner to the dealer, and held up a lavender (500) chip as if to tip him, at which the table broke into laughter.
Sklansky has 4,200. Chances are good he won't be saying anything like "no kings no jacks" when he puts those chips at risk.
