Years ago in the old Ceasar's poker room they were playing Deuce to Seven. Biggest pot of the night, now heads up between an elderly man and a young guy. Raise, reraise, reraise...they get it all in.

Dealer calls for showdown, kid turns up 7-6 smooth... Old man has a stroke, falls forward over his hand and is dead. Security comes, they call an ambulance to take the dead guy away.

The attention turns back to the game. Dealer calls for the Floor and asks, "What happens now, should I turn his hand up?" Floor thinks for a minute and says, "No, muck his hand and push the pot, if the player is dead, the hand is dead."

best post ever!!!

cracked me up

I can't beat the stories but I do remember the most bizzare hand I ever saw.

It's a deep & pretty lively $1/$2 NL game and the button makes a standard raise pre-flop. There are two callers, someone in middle position and the BB. Now the BB is some tourist and an absolute rock. He has only bet with the (almost) nuts all night and checked everything else but he has built his stack up from around $300 to $1300 in about six or seven hours without losing a hand.

The flop comes T-J-5 with some flush draw. Check, check, btn makes a continuation bet. Only BB calls. Turn is another T, check, check. River is another 5 also putting the flush on board.

Now there is about $150 in the pot by this stage, BB checks and the Button bets $100. BB then min-raises to $200, the button does not look happy about this and goes into the tank. From what I could tell it doesn't look to be a dwell-up, he looks genuinely uncomfortable. I'm thinking he'll make a tough pass or maybe a crying call. Over a minute passes and I'm about to call a clock when the button announces all-in, he has the the remaining $1000 and change the BB has left covered.

Considering how the tourist has been playing, to say I and the rest of the table were not expecting this is an understatement. My instant thought was I've obviously misread his act on the river, he's got T-J or Jacks full at a minimum. Anyway the BB seems unmoved, he looks at his hand, looks at the board and after several seconds he announces "call".

He shows K-Qo for King high.

The button looking as confused as I feel, turns over his A-5 for the low house. Tourist gets up, takes his jacket and walks away without saying a word. The whole table including the dealer just look at each other and go WTF was that? The old timer sitting next to me said he'd been playing for over 35 years and couldn't remember a hand like it.

To this day I still can't work out the logic behind the hero call.

I was at fallsview casino and saw some asian dude doing his university homework at the table.

-deuce

I think it's pretty obv he misread the board and thought he had the straight, and prob didn't realize the board double paired. Def strange, but seen some pretty stupid stuff in live games.

A+ thread imo.

winnar

U do know that everyone is epileptic and it just takes different amounts for people to have a fit. Often no sleep for 3 days while concentrating (eg. driving)will do the job.

Also clear winner hockey player story!

Why do I have a feeling the hockey player in question is Gino Odjick.

not in the last 5 years, who would eat a kem card, and after reading previos balls slapping in bathroom post who wants to eat anything as dirty as cards, this is unfunny, and vomitous. probably what made the sleeper/eppileptic,stroker/heart attacker puke.....

LOL this was funny, OMG LMAO..................

Yes it was Mike Lang, that ate the kim card in the B in the 10-20 no-limit game one night he had to go to the hospital and got 86 for a few days , yep I was there when he did this some of the of the plastic got caught in this throat

LOL

$7900 pot @ $2/$4.

The strangests thing I ever saw at a Poker Table? Once I saw Phill Hellmuth playng well and don`t saying BS...

u mean this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i1MOrvM5u0?

when i first started playing poker i was at a station casino and playing 4/8. this guy loses all his chips and asks another guy at the table for a loan. they guy agrees on the condition that he can drink 7 mai tais n an hour.he agrees and says that although he doesnt drink, he is a monk and can handle anything , w/e that means.

so the waitress brings the 1st 2 and he downs them like water.she brings 2 more and the same thing. he kinda slows down on the 5th one and while hes trying to drink his 6th he starts acting funny.its been a 1/2 hour since this started and hes obviously feeling it.hes slurring his words and hes not controlling his body well at all.all of a sudden he passes out.the tables a lil conscerned and next thing u know , he throws up all over the table! the whole table jumps up and some people r pissed cuz they brought him the drinks so fast. they bring over a wealchair and cart him off. i hear the guy that offered the deal say "good i hope he dies.that son of a bitch stole money from my house!"

was pretty crazy , ive never seen someone go from sober to drunk , pass out n throw up n such a short time(45 min).

i was playing a $4/$8 limit game at a casino. At the table next to me, these two guys are basically all in (maybe $300 pot). And one guy flips over his cards, then the other guy stands up and cheers and throws down his two cards. But when the second guy flipped over his cards, one of the cards landed face down (the other was face up) and the dealer mucked his hand even though he had a full house and a winning hand.

WOW LOL tell me this kid was albino tell me it, tell me it!

"No, muck his hand and push the pot, if the player is dead, the hand is dead."

Yes. haha.

My girlfriend ****ed rick derris on a pool table at a halloween party. it was the only time youll see smokey get to the **** the bandit

imo

few years back at swedish private club. I was playing tourney with around 3 tables in starting field. At my table there was alot of table talk and ego festival going on. Then one hand happened was folded all around and bb got a walk. Then SB said i just mucked AA. 2 players at the table said noway he stated again i just mucked AA, so both of them betted rather large sum compare what the pricepool was in the tourney. He flipped over AA and had gar to himself like second place money. This is still the best ev play i ever seen at the poker table, this guy new the other 2 idiots would bet him. Sickest and greatest poker play i ever seen.

Wow! He didn`t say a single word! I was expecting him to explode! He`s on medication this day?

It happened in local casino. I played 200RA tourney, blinds were 50-100 still rebuy time, i'm UTG and have 2500 chips. I jokingly said that i'd straddle seeing only one card. It's Ace so I put 200, the guy in UTG+1 goes allin 1500, the other guy on the other side of the table pushes his chips too. So I'm looking at other card and it's Ace too. I push my chips, say that I call and flip my Aces face up. But the secong guy in fact didn go allin he called. So management rules that my push is in fact call, but my hand is alive. Flop is 2JQ and I push for another thousand.

Now the funny part - guy is calling with pair of Kings. He losed and when asked why call, he said that if he wouldnt, he will never get Kings in future.
