I was playing a home game over the weekend and had tough situation.

Two of us in the hand and we make it to the river. The last card comes out and I check it to the other player. He thinks a second and says, "What you got?", to which I answer, "A pair of Kings", turning up my hand. Of course he what he MEANT to say was, "How many chips do you have left?" because he wanted to put me all in. And he did have the better hand (two pair).

Our home game is friendly, and there was no argument that ensued. He just accepted the pot, and we dealt the next hand.

But what's the rule on this, say in a casino? He did not say 'check' or tap the table. He just asked a question which was open to misunderstanding. Is he wrong for mis-stating his question, or am I wrong for turning up my hand before he decided to check or bet?
