I wasn't involved in this hand, and wasn't even paying a ton of attention to it until the issue occurred, but somehow we've arrived at the turn with three players -- the SB, who is a late-50s or so white gentleman with a mustache, a small Asian lady in EP, and a middle-aged white lady on the button. 1/2 NL game at Ocean's in Atlantic City.
Board reads: Q
9
2
[8
]
The first two players check, the white lady moves a little bit but not enough to call a check, the dealer burns and turns the T
. The gent bets $18 into about $40, and this is where it gets wonky -- the white lady says she didn't check on the turn. Floor comes over, says the card's going back in, the lady can have action on the turn -- now she checks.
River gets re-dealt, is now a 3
. Gent still bets $18, Asian lady folds, white lady calls. Gent had Q
8
, lady had Q
J
. Someone points out to her that the original river was better for her, and she says it wasn't!
Two procedure questions for the many people with knowledge of how this ought to work:
1. The floor had the dealer
burn again -- I don't think I've ever seen four burn cards before (or at least not in a spot where it didn't get run twice) -- is this actual procedure?
2. How do you prevent the angle from the white lady here? I'm about 95% sure she was trying for a "better" river card, but obviously wasn't bright enough to understand which ones were good for her.
