Ugh, ok.
I left the table for a smoke. As I'm coming back, I notice the hand is about to be dealt. I rush to my seat, saying "I'm in, I'm in!". I'm utg with KcQc, so I snap raise. Everybody is looking at me funny, and it slowly dawns on me that I've sat at the wrong table, and bet off someone else's stack.

Oops.

Seen that one before in person, but still LOL funny

Yeah, there was about 20 people who found it hilarious.

What's the ruling in that situation?

I don't assume that let the hand play out, since it isn't your money.

Did they just put the raise back in the stack, and send you back to your table? I guess since you're UTG and no other action had occurred the hand should also be a misdeal.

Hummm... I wonder what the ruling would be if an entire hand had been played out with you betting somebody else's money and it wasn't figured out until he showed up at the end of the hand. I'm guessing whatever the ruling had been in that situation it wouldn't have been good for you.

Good thing it was figured out right away.

Fortunately nobody else saw my cards. This was when I first started playing 1/2. I forget the exact cards but there was a straight draw and a flush draw out on the turn, I had bottom pair on the flop with a low flush draw. I fire a bet, get raised, call, call, back to me I call. Probably around 100-120 in the pot at this point, nothing major but still a decent sized pot. Board bricks both draws, i goes check, (waitress appears with my drink), I just muck cuz I can never be good right?, check, check. Everyone looks at each other with a confused look... two people had the same missed straight draw, and the third won with the Ace high missed flush draw. One asked me what I mucked... I just shook my head.

2nd one. Loose player raises, I call with 7c8c. Flop, 56Q 2 clubs. I check raise him, turn is a brick. I bet 3/4 pot, he hesitates and flats, river is a low club, I bet pot, he thinks about it for a minute and says I think you got there and calls, I flip up 7c8c and say yeah I did and put my dollar tip on it for the dealer and slide it forward without noticing that as soon as he called he flipped up QcJc...

There's a new leader in the clubhouse

Shoved, confidently flipped over my hand declaring "two pair" and realizing that I misread my hand...

Pro tip; J9 is not the same as J8...

Shoved $275 into a $60 pot on a 10 high semi bluff because I didn't see the two black chips in front of the other guy.

Fortunately, no one acted, they were just staring at me or smiling. My table was next to it, and someone yelled "wrong table ______!" So the supervisor was called and it was a misdeal. But of course, it was the running joke of the evening. When the player whose actual seat it was came back, his table told him about it. He got concerned that I might have taken some of his chips, and asked for a camera check. I was pretty embarrassed, but it all turned out ok.

2/5 NL OTB facing a $30 raise from a tight player UTG, I call with 96

Flop comes 6-7-8 with one diamond. I check/call his $35 c-bet.

Turn: 10. Check check.

River: 8.

Now throughout the hand, I had my opponent on an overpair like jacks. And I'm thinking he might fold to pressure because the top card paired the board and it is so coordinated. So I throw out a black chip as a "bluff".

He tanks tanks and finally turns over his cards and says "I actually have a hand you know", as he shows AA and calls the bet.

I immediately throw my cards in the muck and berate him for nit-rolling, like "what are you waiting for??". He tells me "well look at the board, I was afraid of the straight.. nine is a straight". Oops. Totally derailed from my thought process. Like, I needed a 5 or a 10 or a 6 OTF. But when the 10 came, it totally didn't hit me that I actually made the straight. I told him oh **** I did have the 9.. 6-9 suited. Misread my hand.

It was a $400+ pot. Never made a mistake like that in my life. I was gonna post this to BBV but there are too many trolls that just waste space berating so I posted it here after reading the title. That hand happened over a week ago.

Edit: I don't feel so bad after learning that even Phil Ivey once mucked the winning hand. Also, following that incident, I only played my A game.

One time I pitched some greens on the blackjack table to get change. By "pitch" I mean lay them out raising style like we do in poker. Now the dealer was a bit offended that I "threw chips at her" even though they were still inches from my hand. She immediately guessed I was from poker. If she had called floor to say I "threw chips at her", I swear, I would've demonstrated what I actually did and then tell floor "if I was really throwing chips at her I would do it like this.." and start pitching reds AT her and splashing them in her trey. The ban probably would've been worth it.

New Year's Eve. Arrive at the tables early evening. I proceed to tell a guy I can outdrink him and we start doing shots. I then realize I've had one chicken wing the entire day (I'm a woman and weighed about 125 lb at the time -- yes, I'm 132 now), but it's too late. I play for a few hours while drinking, lose a ton of money because I'm trashed, and I end up on the floor passed out next to the dealer long before midnight. Luckily (or not), I was well-known in the room so didn't get kicked out.

Most embarrassing poker experience I've ever had! Coming back to play the next day was really fun

Hm... i havent done anything embarassing @ the poker table.

I've just used the womens bathroom many times and ppl give me weird looks not anymore tho (honestly, i don't find it embarassing). The mens bathroom is always covered in piss on the floor + seats, I CBF.

Recent tournament at Choctaw. Forget exactly what blind level we are on but. Board comes out Axx I have AA. I check raise to a guy that is never folding to my c/r. Board turns another A. I check. I'm in seat 9 and villain is in seat 8. There is like 5k in the pot and villain has 1 stack of chips. 4 1k chips and 4 100 chips stacked on top of each other. I glance over and see him reach for his stack. In my mind for some reason I thought he grabbed and through his entire stack in. So I insta throw in enough to call his all in and flip over my quad AA

I see everyone confused and realize he only three in 400

me

I'm playing 1/3 at Aria, and I'm doing well. Mostly because of this one, older, European Gentlemen who would not fold and played every damn hand, no matter the action before him.

So I bust him once, and he rebuys to $300.

I bust him again, and he pulls out a purple $500 chip and looks to me to color him down. I do. So now I have a purple chip in my stack - not that usual in 1/3 game, right? Cool.

He wins some hands and he grows his stack to around $500. But I bust him again.

This time, he pulls out a yellow $1k chip, and I oblige him by giving him back his purple plus $500 in red.

I've never had a 1k chip in my stack before, so I'm kinda stoked. I've got about $1800 total, so I place the yellow on top of my stack.

But I have to go to the bathroom, so I place the yellow underneath some red chips in the front of my stack, furthest from the rail. Don't want to give anyone walking by an easy grab, right?

After I come back, I leave my yellow in front of my stack, so everyone can see it, but - and this is the important part - I can't see it.

So a few orbits go by and I'm not very active, maybe playing a few small parts.

Then THIS HAND HAPPENS - with the same Old, European Gentleman who I've busted again and again. But now he's got over $700 in front of him, as he had doubled up+ a few hands previously.

I have pocket sixes in EP. I raise to $10.

Everyone folds but the Old, European Gentleman on the button. We see a flop of AAQ.

I grab 4 chips - 3 red and a buck - from the front of my stack - for a normal C-bet of $16.

Except, as I release the chips over the line and they clatter in super slow-motion onto the felt, I see that I've accidentally thrown the yellow chip into the pot!

So instead of betting $16, I've bet $1011.



The above icons are me, on the inside. On the outside, I just smirk, and sit back in my chair, looking at my opponent, non-nonchalant.

Now, you have to realize - THIS GUY HAS NOT FOLDED A HAND SINCE HE'S SAT DOWN. Okay, maybe one or two, but he plays every damn hand. I mean, he called my all-in on the river with TP and a T kicker, and then called my massive checkraise against him and another guy with a 5-high flush draw, then pushed the turn when he missed.

I think we understand this guy does not like to fold, right?

So the Old Guy tanks. He looks at his hand.
Fidgets. Sighs. Shakes his head again.

Finally, he turns over his hand:

He's got A3



...But he hasn't called yet.

He looks at me, shakes his head some more, stacks some chips, counts his stack. He even picks up a stack and hovers it close to the betting line, like he's talking himself into a call.

Then...

He grins at me and shakes his head again, pointing with his chip stack at me.

"No!" He yells. "I'm not gon-give you no more money. I give you too much already."

And he mucks. Very pleased with himself.

Naturally, I showed my pocket sixes, racked up, and got the hell out of there.







That's what you call dodging a bullet.

One of those pots no one wants.. it goes check check all around, the type where king high is the nuts. The pot is $25 or something. I river 2nd pair, grab two chips and bet. But by mistake grabbed two green ones. Most players fold and the tightest player at the table, last to act, is tanking, mutters something to herself (the gist here is: "I was snap calling any bet but why did this idiot have to overbet like that in such a small pot?"). The kind of player that would check top pair or better 3 times multiways in a limped pot. She finally folds.

I mucked preflop utg while jokingly and simultaneously declaring all in based on the current conversation about a guy going allin with rags. Dealer called floor, I was allin, and my cards were dead with a 700 stack. Table was super nice and mucked to me and I took the blinds- I was in a state of shock because I was about to grab my chips and get perma ejected. I was so confused I tipped the butthole dealer the blinds. I still avoid hammond horseshoe, I wonder if thats in the back of my mind?

One time I went all in in a tournament with a very low stack, very close to the final table. Everyone folds but the BB, whose cards I could not see. I toss my cards in the middle and grab my bet all excited until to my horror, they announce that BB still has cards. I quickly grabbed my cards back and before the scumbag dealer could finish his "you hand is dead" sentence, BB decides to be a gentleman and instantly folds his cards.

On the river only two players left I am 1st to act and Obviously Not paying attention and I say Raise

Super sexy chip runner, so hot you don't care about your cards. I ask her out and she smiles and says you have to ask my boss, I'm like umm?? Ok? And she gives a cute smile. So the floor is walking by and I'm like hey I'd like to take this girl out, and he's just all ya? Why you telling me? So awkward and embarrassing, she couldn't just say no, had to make me look like a fool too lol

They say you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, but I think sometimes if you exercise common judgement you should be able to identify the shots you are drawing dead to make no matter how many times you take them. Not because you shouldn't believe in yourself, but because their is only a finite amount of time in your life.

Last summer at a tourney at the MGM, a get dealt KQo. Flop comes K103. I bet, everyone folds but one guy. Turn is a 7. I bet and guy tanks for a few seconds then says "ok, I call".

Now I was going to lie at this point in my story and say that I was distracted by the CW but what the hell, might as well come clean. I don't know what happened other than the fact I was not paying any attention. Somehow I thought the last card was the river and that last call, the end of it. I flip over my hand and say "pair of kings."

The whole table was actually sympathetic. I was hard on myself because I looked so bloody stupid. The river was a 9. Guy left is supper friendly, he says "I'm going to bet but only because I've got K9." He showed his hand.

Years ago I got enough nerve to go to an underground club after watching Moneymaker's run & now "I KNOW" how to play the game! 1/2 game full of regulars and Wonderboy waiting for the cards to fly for the first hand of the night. Everyone is in for $300. WB is in mid position with A10 off. UTG opens for $10, WB raises to $20 & button re-raises to $40. UTG re-pops to $75 & I go all-in. Both players call. At this point I realize A10 off is best in late position and heads-up. Wonderboy is facing 2 AK's for a $900 pot. Flop comes 10/10/3. Turn & river were blanks.

I stacked my chips, tossed $25 to the dealer, appologized to the table that I had no business being there and went home.

The underground games I play in frown on (as in, it is NOT ALLOWED) players leaving early! Lucky you

After Black Friday I moved from Portland to Vegas. So sometimes when I went back id go to the local poker room mostly to drink and talk to old friends.

One time the game end up up as a three hand limit game against a guy spewing as hard as he can every hand and it went in to the wee hours of the morning. One hand he's spewing like crazy and I call him down with k high. Combination of being tired and a dealer saying hi to me at showdown caused we to zone out for a half second as I call his river bet. He says "nice hand," I hear " a ten" and I fold. Room as a strict "once a hand is past the betting line it's a dead hand" fold rule and I literally tried to catch my cards in the air as I realized as soon as they landed a $1000 pot was going to other way.

Villain tables 8 high and ships and I get teased every time I go back
