Who wins a Poker Miscall

Dear Mark, While playing a friendly game of Hold'em with friends, a player called out his hand as a flush instead of the straight flush it was. I had a full house, enough to beat a flush, but not a straight flush. My friend believed he still gets the pot even if he miscalled his hand. I don't. Who's right? Alex C.
At a kitchen-table game, the enforceable statutes on such matters should be Hoyle; but let's face it, we've all sat in on games where the rules are based on whose house we're in, or who bought the beer.
As for casino Hold'em games, the iron rule is that "cards speak." Your poker hand is what it is, regardless of how you call or miscall it. When the cards go face up, the dealer will call the hands and award the pot to the player who actually has the best hand, even if, like your friend, the player were to miscall it.
