  • Not sure I get it ?
  • If a deck has 4 queens and the board has 3 queens, it stuck him as funny that 12 big bets would be had between two players since 4-3 means only 1 queen left between them.

    Thus, it was a joke that implied that the deck had to have 5 queens for the hand to make any sense. Not a world class joke perhaps, but I hope I explained it well enough for you.

    All the best.
