Sorry, I don't think I have anything that would be very interesting in this department. But I was hoping to hear other's stories. I'm sure there are some good one's out there.I love hearing about other people's misery.

I capped the betting on 4th and 5th only to find out that a guy runner runner'd a baby flush which beat my set of T's. ****ing calling station made me look like a FOOL!

Eh, a couple times I thought I had the nuts, showed down my hand and said "nuts" and someone else says "no nuts" and either turns them over or points out that I do NOT actually have a straight.Other than that, my most embarassing was at a 1-2 NL table that I was absolutely running over. People were complimenting my play left and right, afraid to give me action, etc....then I thought I'd be cool and flip in a dollar chip from the sb to complete. I was so concentrated on making the chip spin that I didn't notice someone from MP had made it 15 to go....and I said "call" before my chip hit the table. Doh. I had K-10o. Flop K-K-J. MP bets, I raise him allin, he calls with AJ. I win again.I feltlike a huge ******* but the money helped.

i sat down at a 20/40 game cuz the stupid floor manager said, theres a seat for you, when i was only playing 5/10 that nightI looked at everyones stacks like WTF??

[nritchi3]

I think mine would have to be the first time i sat at a live game at a poker club in london playing 1/2 NL. I don't remember the exacts of it but i thought i flopped a stright bet it strong on the flop bet it strong again on the turn realized on the river that i didn't have a stright then checked a blank on the river and the guy bet a quarter of the pot on the river and i folded.

[thrillsoft]

Oh, I remembered something....On night, there was this really hot girl sitting next to me and I was trying to be all cool and such until I knocked my full drink out of the cupholder all over her chips and cards. It took like 20 minutes for her to get all of her chips individually dried off. Within 5 minutes of them being dry, I did it again!

I think that's actually better than my choking while taking a drink and spitting beer all over my and my mother and laws cards at the blackjack table(and having play stop for 15 mins while the pitboss came over and replaced all the cards that got wet)

[Royal_Tour]

Ok. heres a question.who should be more embarrassed...A drunk 40 year old lady hitting on a 20 year old male at the poker table.or the 20 year old male enjoying it, and flirting back??

[FourFlusher]

Embarrassing, but, folding the BB with no raises in front.More than once.

not especially interesting, but about 15 hours into a 20 hour session, i develop a tendency to fold my cards off the table--not intentionally, but i think that about 15 hours after i arrive, the air currents in the brantford poker room get wild and messed up due to my huge stacks of chips and start blowing my folded cards onto the floor. this causes a half-setup change, for which i usually say "****, sorry man," and get a warning about swearing.and it's not really embarrasing, but once i almost got in a fight at brantford.all my big pairs had been getting cracked all night, so when i picked up QQ in mp, raised, and two ******* guys in the CO and button called, i knew an ace was flopping. sure enough, the flop came AKx, and a little frustrated, i tapped my cards on the table. apparently the guy next to me tried to see them, and the douchebag on the button said, "kid, i'm gonna do you a favor. that hand is exposed. show it to everyone."me: what?douche: you showed that guy your cards, now you have to show everyone. i'm really doing you a favor here, kid.me: if he saw them, sorry, but i didn't show them to him.dealer: i didn't see anything.douche: no, that hand is exposed. floor!me: whatever, i'm betting the flop, you're calling, and then i'm check/folding the turn to your Ax anyway. [flips up qq]douche proceeds to check down the hand with his buddy to his right, repeating over and over about how he's doing me a favor and how he's saving me money from making mistakes like that in the future.me: oh, sorry, my mistake, i thought you were being an asshole, not doing me a favor.[CO proudly flips up a3o for the (not so) stunning victory. button mucks]douche #2: yeah, kid. let that be a lesson to you. don't show your hand to other players.me: what? i can't hear you very well over my huge stack of chips. (i did have about 2k in front of me at a 10/20 table, after all)[dealer giggles, then stops herself][douches #1 and #2 glare at me]douches, nearly in unison: "i'm not playing at this table anymore" [exeunt, one of them literally punches me in the shoulder on the way out, telling me that "he'll be outside waiting if i want to settle this." i don't. he's big and dumb, and i'm little.]that was probably as close as i've come to losing my cool at a live game. i apologized to the dealer and gave her 20 bucks.that's kind of my favorite poker experience, though, in retrospect.

I did this like 18 times in a row the first time I played live after playing on the internet for 2 years.

I was drunk in Vegas, had just finished up a small win at 1/2 NL and decided to play some Blackjack.I sat down at a table where the dealer had just started reshuffling the shoe, and waited with everyone else and ordered yet another Bud Light.My beer arrived simultaneously as the dealer had just burned the first card of the new shoe after a 10 minute break, and I managed to spill the ENTIRE beer into the middle of the shoe, thus shutting down the table for another 15 minutes while they cleaned the shoe off, got 5 new decks, reshuffled, and cleaned off the felt.I was not very popular at that table.

once at a home game i flopped the nuts. I checked the one other guy in the pot bet I reraised all-in. He was taking his time talking it out and saying this and that and i was pretty sure i heard him say call so i flipped my cards and said NUTS!. He said "uh...well i guess i fold" Everyone laughed at me ...I still think he said call. But everyone else at the table said that he didnt. Oh well.

[KidSquamish]

We're in a Sahara tournament. Guy on my left wins his first pot, about the 4th hand of the tournament. After collecting the pot, he "tips" the dealer one chip. The dealer politely explained the situation, and it was all I could do not to burst out laughing.Ok, fine, he was green and nervous, but c'mon.

[j2k99]

playing 3/6 limit and down to heads up and we kept re-raising each other after the river and at the end i just called his bet. turns out he had an ace high straight and i though i lost. however, turned out i actually had a full house. luckily i turned my cards face up on the table.

pooped my pants.

[vgsgeek]

Bought in at the cage and walked over to the 3/6 table and took the only open seat. My seat is UTG. The dealer sees me about to take the seat and deals my cards before I'm even seated. I set my rack down, sit down and pick up my cards, set them down in front of my rack and say, "Check". I had 3 people trying to explain to me that I can't check, blah blah blah...It actually worked out nicely. They all thought I had never played before and I wasn't about to correct them.
