Mercury69 3 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 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! Link to post Share on other sites
DonkSlayer 1 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 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. Link to post Share on other sites

nritchi3 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 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 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 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! Link to post Share on other sites

checkymcfold 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 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.

budfox427 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 mucked a winnerI 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.

SPADES21 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 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. Link to post Share on other sites
KidSquamish 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 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. Link to post Share on other sites

vgsgeek 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 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.

Mezzo 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 It was my first time playing live at the casino.On the button with AQ, I turned the nut straight. (10, J, rag, K rainbow) UTG bet out and I called out "raise", not realizing I had bet out of turn. UTG+1 was still in the hand. I pulled my bet back as the dealer began to give me a speech about paying attention at the table. The dealer went on and on as UTG+1 was debating to call. When he did call, I was so annoyed with the dealer that I forgot to raise.An A came on the river and UTG bet out again with UTG+1 calling. I was still holding the nutz but I just called again. What a total donk move. I chopped the pot with UTG who had QQ. When I flipped my cards over, the dealer looked at them and said out loud "You had it on the turn. Why didn't you raise?" Needless to say, I wanted to punch him in the face!!! Link to post Share on other sites
rivers21 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I was sitting on a table and there was a good looking girl to my left and she asked if anyone had a light, there was match book next to me and I lit one for her and lighted her cigarette. I put the match in the ash tray and the match was still on fire. For some reason I thought it was a bad thing and I decided to blow it out and blew ashes all over the poker table Link to post Share on other sites
FourFlusher 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 The first time I walked into the Garden City Casino in Saratoga, I do the brush thing, and get called to a table. I get put in the 9 seat and buy a rack from the runner. I wasn't comfortable in that position, and, just as I finish stacking my rack the one seat opens up. Haven't played a hand yet. I tell the dealer I want the one seat. It looked awkward to slide my chips past the dealer, so, I decide to just carry them. I grab $25 in each hand, stand up, hook my foot in the cocktail table, do a three step run out, hit an empty chair some butthead left in the ailse, and go face down on the Casino floor tossing fifty bucks in the air.People laughing, saying, "have another drink, *******". Hadn't had a drop. Floor man in my face trying to smell booze.Kinda embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites
