 A couple of stories
Just thought I'd share a couple of stories from some games I've been in recently.
In the first one a guys drink had just been poured at the bar and as he went to get it he asked the chap to his right to call for him. The chap however raised to 4x BB. Seeing this from the bar the other guy thought he was having a laugh and said right I'm all-in. This got called by another player (also all-in) and the player who first raised. Cards were shown and the guy at the bar had AJs while the other two both showed KK. The guy returned to the table and was laughing when the flop came up A J 6. However he had to curse his luck as next came turn Q and river 10 to give a split pot between the kings and knock him out!
The other concerns a complete mess I made of a deal. As I was dealing the hand I accidentally flipped a card over. This is not really a problem as the rules are that it can be used as the first burn card and the deal completed. The card was a 10. Someone raised pre-flop and one guy decided to fold his K 10 which he would normally have played as his outs were limited. I then had to deal the flop. I burnt a card and dealt 3 which came up 5 10 K. The chap who folded K 10 laughed and was more pleased when someone pointed out I has also made an error dealing the flop as I shouldn't have dealt a burn card. This could be corrected by turning over the burn card for the flop and using the K as the next burn card leaving the flop as Q 5 10 and the guy with K 10 would have had two of his outs burned. Unbelievably, however, turn and river both came up as kings. I was extremely sorry to have cost a guy his full house but he was very good about it.  |
