V miscalled his hand.

I usually do speak up for a miscalled hand, basically would say "that is not [whatever they said it was]".

In this case, the difference between the nut flush and third nut flush is...pretty minor. Like, if the guy had the second nut flush, I'd generally expect him to be able to recognize it on his own that the guy is showing a Q not an A or whatever. The other guy is probably beat regardless.

Still, if there is some extenuating circumstance (the guys are on opposite ends of the table and it's hard to see the hands), or if you're 100% certain he misdeclared, or you can see that the guy's hand beats what the villain has but not what he declared), then I might speak up anyway.

Cards speak. If the villain tables their hand and states that it is the nut flush, the dealer should immediately correct them. Failing that, anyone at the table should correct the statement, TDA rule 2 and 12.

I would speak up and say it is not the nut flush but it is a flush.

I'm guessing there were two straight flush possibilities and the guy who said nut flush had an A high flush. When this happens (and I have seen it a few times) I would say it is not the nuts but it is an A high flush.

If somebody has a Q high flush when there is an A and K not on the board and says they have the nut flush then this is straight out cheating (well trying to get somebody to fold a better hand by lying). I have never seen that happen. I have seen people declare that they have a flush or a straight before they turn over their hand in an effort to get an opponent to fold, and they didn't have it.

As a suggestion, instead of being super serious about the correction you can do it lightly. “It’s a damn good flush… but it’s not the NUT flush”

Is saying "nut flush" declaring you have the best hand? A straight flush is different.

I think that is an eternal debate among poker enthusiasts. In my mind, a hand can have a nut straight, nut flush, nut boat, nut quads, and "the nuts" which is a royal, all at the same time. Others will disagree.

Typically the nut flush is an A high flush. But to me if there is a straight flush possibility then the nut flush would be the best straight flush. But as was just mentioned that could be me.

There probably is no single right or wrong answer to this one. It all depends on how people use the term. In most of the games I’ve played, nut flush would be the highest possible flush with straight flushes (or royals) being considered separate hands. Not sure, though, on a AKQJhhhh board if someone with the 9h would think to call it the nut flush, even though it technically is if the royal is a different hand.

Cards speak, opponent should look at cards

So a 9 high flush is the nut flush over a 10 high flush?

On that board, yes, if you’re counting a royal flush as not being a flush. A ten would make it a royal. On a board of AKQJ all hearts, the hand that makes the highest flush would be the 9hX (X not being Th)

That is consistent with my flopped set no longer being called a set, trips, or 3 of a kind when the board pairs.

Some people sometimes say ACE FLUSH even though the ace is on the board. TBF that's what your online hand thing will say as well.

This is true, but it's a terrible thing to do and is sometimes done as an angle.

Similar to someone announcing his hand as "two pair" when he has pocket 2s and the board is paired.

Whoa. That's your version of terrible? Neither even makes my list of mildly annoying.

This comes up often on this sub-forum, with the sides pretty polarized. I am of the group that is certain that accurately reading your poker hand can never be wrong. The arguments from the other side seem utterly stupid to us, as I'm sure our arguments seem to them. This conversation will go on for many posts with a net result of zero minds changed.

So I just looked up what the meaning of nut flushes are on the internet. And basically every answer is it is the flush with the highest cards. And a straight flush is not considered to be the "nut flush".

That doesn't really make sense to me because to me the nuts means the best possible hand. Forgetting about "nut flushes" for a second, if a board has a pair and no flush draw then the nuts would be quads. If the board has 3 of one suit and a straight flush is possible then the highest straight flush would be the nuts. But apparently it wouldn't be the "nut flush"

The irony of course is that if the board has AKQJ of one suit then the T of that suit would be the nuts and should be the nut flush because regardless of a straight flush the T beats the 9 every time.

And of course if the board is KQJT of one suit then the nut flush has to be the A high flush and not the 8 (because the 9 would be a straight flush as well).

Correct that a straight flush it NOT the nut flush but some people do include that as the nuts flush. I mean you might as well just say NUTS by itself as it's almost certainly going to be the nuts barr none.

Interpretation of this situation can differ, I would class the A high flush with A in my hand as the nut flush, the straight flush is a different hand ranking so I don't consider that when talking about the flush specifically.

Coincidentally recently I had a J high club flush and got it all in on the turn against opponents str8 but bastard hit the str8 flush on the river. Didn't even notice it at first and I have to be honest it tilted the **** out of me.

IMO a straight flush isn't a flush any more than it is a straight or a high card, nor is a full house a type of trips or a pair.

The nut flush is just that, the highest possible flush. It doesn't need to be a straight flush if one is possible. The "nut flush" isn't necessarily "the nuts".

The nut straight is the highest possible straight. It doesn't need to be a flush if one is possible, or a straight flush if one is possible. The "nut straight" isn't necessarily "the nuts".

And so on.
