Bad Beat Story

[JSpencer 0]

Would have put this in the bad beat section, but I feel it really fits underdifferent criteria.I was at Harrahs Chester last night and this morning. My sessions lastedat total of 11 hours and I ended up +$340 in 1/2 NL. At the end of the 11thhour, I really reached a unknown level of mental exhaustion and was aboutto call it quits for the night.A guy to the right of me, who I had made pretty good friends with. Toldme to stick around for one more orbit since I might as well play the freecards.I didn't really intend on getting involved in anything, but I obliged, sat back down, and the cards were dealt.I have Kh9h, not awful considering we were short handed. But I had been fairlyaggressive the entire night and didn't want to risk any of my profit. A somewhattight player bets 10, my buddy raises to 25, the other guy calls.Flop A 10 10Bets out 60, and a call.Turn7Bets out 75, and shove all in, snapped off.TT and AA are shown.Everyone begins yelling as the river is dealt. It is an Ace.The floor is called and everyone is talking about how we just hit the badbeat jackpot. I'm super pumped that my +340 profit has skyrocketed from mejust staying an extra 3 minutes.Just then...it happens. The Dealer forgot to burn a card. Ace is removed, and the river is dealt again.No Bad Beat JackpotIf any of this doesn't make sense I've been up for 53 hours and am beginningto see demons.

Woa tha t sucks.Ez scam thoEvery time a plausible BBJ is about to be dealt the dealer can "forget" to burn a card. It bricks an no-one notices, it hits and the floor can rule it a missdeal.

Wow... that is a legitimate bad beat. And, unfortunately not a legitimate bad beat at the same time [ ] Bad beat hand[x] BAD BEAT:(At my local casino, a hand shuffle resulted in a bad beat jackpot being awarded. The casino nearly didn't pay it out because the dealer shuffled as he was taught: (wash, riffle, strip, riffle, riffle). The provincial gaming commission wanted the dealer to riffle 3 to 5 times after the strip instead of the 2 that he was taught.Thankfully, in this case the casino did end up awarding the BBJ. Sadly, I am only telling this story second-hand -- I was not one of the players at the table.

Man, I'd hate to be the floor person who had to tell the all the people at the table "He shuffled the deck wrong, none of you win any money"

Wow. If a player challenged the result of a hand based on this shuffle procedure, the floor would have laughed at him.

The key thing here was that the casino felt that nothing was wrong with the way the dealer hand shuffled it (that was how they train their dealers to hand shuffle) so the casino was in the process of paying out the players when the provincial gaming commission raised the issue (I don't know, I guess there was a rep onsite). In the end, the casino went ahead with paying the players and have changed the hand shuffle rules to avoid the error in the future.

Let me tell you how this works: money coming INTO the house is good. Money flowing OUT of the house is BAD. The fact that bad beat jackpots are independently raked and it's the players' money does not alter the artifact of that thinking.
