The other day a hand at my local home game went down like this.
Don't really know how the hand started.
On the river, there's around 300 in the pot, both players have at least 100 behind, could be 200 or even 300, we're playing a 1/1 game.
Player 1 goes all-in, player 2 snap calls.
Player 1 shows his hand, two pair.
Player 2 shows says he has a straight, shows his hand, but he actually has complete air (4 card straight, so missing one) not even a pair, just T high.
He doesn't even realize after turning over his cards and after like 5-10 seconds the dealer says, that's not a straight.
Player 1 covered player 2, takes all the money.
What would you do in this situation if you are player 1?
I'd just like to give back the amount he called on the river.
I think I might even do this in a casino against a completely unknown player.
Thoughts?
Player 1 actually handled the situation extremely poorly imo.
He went on for like 10 minutes about how bad he felt for player 2, but didn't return a dime.
I was sitting in between them, knew player 2 pretty well.
It was the first time I saw player 1, but he had been talking a lot to me and seemed friendly.
I told him I'd just give back like 100 or so, but he ignored me
