BSUrugby240 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Well, tonight, I made a mistake that I've never done before, and I was rather pissed when it happened(particularly at myself, but at the situation overall).Tonight at a B&M tourney. $25 buy-in (T1500)with unlimited re-buys (T1000)first hour, you can rebuy whenever you have 1500 or less chips, So almost everybody starts out rebuying to start with 2500 in chips (I did as well.)So there are two guys at the table who were going all-in in the dark the first 3 hands. One guy continues to do so. Its the 6th hand, and the one guy who has continued to do so (has me covered as he tripled up the previous hand) I look down to 77, so I decide to call. Everybody else folds so its heads-up. The dealer says "alright guys, go ahead and put the cards up here" and I lightly toss my cards and one of them landed on its corner and barely touched one card that was considered to be in the muck, the hand was clearly visible the entire time it did not flip over or anything. "well, that hands dead, doesn't even matter now, so do you want to rebuy buddy?" I was in destructive mode tilt at that point and not even remotely in the mood to play cards anymore, so I left and broke as many traffic laws as possible on the way home. Went and lifted to relieve some stress, now just sharing the experience.So, to anybody that the thought has never crossed your mind, don't let your cards get anywhere remotely close to the muck until after the hand is done, and just keep them close to you.

flyingmachine 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Your situation is definitely worse than mine since your cards were face up and obviously you weren't folding. IMO, I think you got screwed.One time I was at Trump Gary playing 10/20 and a hand that I was in, everyone folded to my river bet and I lightly tossed my cards a bit in front of me, but I then realize that the guy on my left was all in on the flop. I was just about to say, "hey wait" and the ahole dealer snatches my cards and mixes them into the muck and says, "player mucks his cards, wins side pot". Guy all in had AA and I had trips K's, so I lost out on about $100 extra. It was BS, but lesson learned to wait until the dealer is pushing your chips to you before you let go of your cards.

Socrates 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Damn rules.I'd be willing to bet if you went in with KK and he turned over AA, but got mucked in the same manner you'd be all kinds of happy.Just kidding more or less. Technically your hand is dead, but yeah, it was a tough break. Did you actually say "call?" Link to post Share on other sites

Technically your hand is dead, but yeah, it was a tough break. Did you actually say "call?"Yes, I actually said "call." If he turned over AA, then that would be that and I'd lose the hand if the board didn't help me. This isn't likely as he's been going all in in the dark time after time.Why would I be happy, I still would have lost all of my chips, and not even get to see the board flop.Also, the majority consensus over on 2+2 is that the dealer made an incorrect call and that the hand should have been played out. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat...=5&o=14&fpart=1 Link to post Share on other sites
