I played a hand tonight where I was all in with Aces vs an opponent who held 54 on a 235 board. The runout was a 4 on the turn and 6 on the river, putting a straight on the board. For some reason, most likely fatigue, I didn't realize this. That was obviously a mistake on my end. I flipped my hand face up at the end and showed my hand. It was not mucked. However, the dealer didn't realize it was a chop and pushed the pot to my friend. I didn't realize either until about 10 minutes later. At that point I was already on my way home (this ended up being my last hand of the night).

The opponent is a friend, though I only know him from this poker game, where we are both regulars over the past few years. It's basically a home game that runs 1-2 times a week.

Should I bring this up to said friend? Or is it best to just let it go and never mention it? I should have realized my hand, although I did show it (and not muck it) and therefore it was a dealer error to not chop. It's somewhat tilting to lose the money in this way.

Thoughts? Worth a mention to my friend to see his reaction and if he will toss the chop my way? Leaning towards just moving on without a mention but this is a unique situation and wanted to get some outside thoughts from other players.

Best to chalk it it up as a lesson learned and move on. Actually it is not all that unique. Dealer errors and player errors are quite common , especially in home games. Situations like this need to be corrected as close to real time as possible to avoid unneeded friction between players you will be playing with over and over again in home games. Usually even the next hand is too late and certainly after the game has broken is way too late.

^ this, just move on.

once the hand is over you have lost any claim to it - so bringing it up now would just sound like a greasy attempt at getting pity money.

I will head this reasonable advice and move on without anymore thought to this. Thanks for the thoughts.

Let it go.

I've done a similar thing (realized after the fact that I should have been awarded the pot). But after the cards are collected, or your own cards have hit the muck, it's just too late.

It's water under the bridge. But there's a lesson for you. Be alert and stay alert when you do anything involving money.
