At that point the gambling is mostly gone, too.
Interesting, I suppose if you take it to mean the hand that wins, then any hand could be considered the best if it wins. That's not what I'm talking about, that would not even make sense in the context of how that could possibly relate to this scenario. During game play and when you're either limping in, raising, checking or folding based on what cards you hold. It's easy to see if you have what would be considered the best hand (in hold'em) and raise heavily... except there are two others with basically the same best hand. Then you end up splitting it three ways and I have often been a party to just that.
I had no idea anyone could jump to that conclusion on the simple basis that "At that point the gambling is mostly gone, too." makes it irrelevant. Saying the best hand is the one that wins, is such an obvious given at the end... It never even crossed my mind that anyone would not understand that the entire comment was to be taken as a single context. The way you saw it, doesn't make sense at all and most can at least maintain a sense continuity. It just makes everything flow together, rather than just throwing in a statement that is only relatable in stretch.
So, thank you for stating the obvious for me and I will try to do something about things that people find confusing. Though, I have no clue on exactly just how... Perhaps you can offer a better way of getting my intended meaning out a bit more clearly.
