I only run it twice when I feel like it
Once at the Wynn Macau a new player who was really bad as he didn't understand the game and was just bleeding off chips. He'd sat down with a couple large chips and was making change with them as needed. Lost a few buyins and kept on pulling out big chips from his pocket to reload at the table. Don't think he raised once. Just called everything all day.
We go to a flop and he checks and I cbet with top set. He meant to call my raise but accidentally check raised. a few times earlier, he tried to make change with a big chip of his before calling a bet and the dealer just told him to put the chip in and then he'd make change. So this time he goes ahead and does that without first having a conversation with the dealer of "what do I do now"
However, my raise was a funky number like 350 into a pot of about 600, so he threw a big chip (don't recall but probably a 10k chip) along with a 50 chip to make it easier for the dealer to make change. The dealer declares raise, he's genuinely confused and tries explaining it is a call. I'm of course considering that this could be the mother of all angle shoots where you intentionally chip dump thousands in horrible donkey play (IE maybe he intentionally lost to friends to establish the image) only to setup a single play like this. But... I'm holding the nuts. If I wasn't holding the nuts I probably just fold here too wary it's an angle but I'm holding the nuts and already have over $100 usd of HKD committed into the pot
Guy was really nice all day at the table and had already lost a few buyins. Was clearly a nice guy who had some money and was tired of baccarat so decided to learn poker. I felt kinda bad about this situation. Especially that it would have been overly optimistic to believe I'd win more than 10k off him in this single raised heads up pot.
So everyone at the table is advocating on his behalf that he clearly didn't mean to do it and we should follow the spirit of what he intended. Dealer calls floor over and floor rules the bet is standing and I can either fold, call, or raise.
I tell the guy, look man, I can't fold, I have too much invested here. I also have the best possible hand. So how about this. I call, we check it down and run the board out. Whoever wins gets the main pot, but we both get back our 10k additional. He instantly agrees. Dealer and floor who are standing there watching this take place do not say a word. I put in chips, we flip our cards, and the dealer immediately deals out the turn and river. What's important here is we both had chips behind and he didn't pause at the turn as if he was going along with our arrangement.
Flop is something like J47 rainbow, I had JJ, he had KJ. Turn and river are obviously KK.
Dealer scoops the pot and gives it all to him. We're both like wait a second? We had a deal. The floor declares that no such deals can be made. The guy then takes a 10k chip and tosses it to me but the floor immediately intervenes and says if I don't give him that chip back immediately we'll both be kicked out and banned from future play. At this point we're both livid because they saw us making the deal and didn't say a word. They said it wasn't their job to get involved in discussion and they were just doing there job.
So of course I'm in a real sour mood. I want to rack up and leave but the guy is still sitting at the table. So now I'm thinking he may just decide to go along with the ruling and keep my 10k. Knowing I'm too tilted to play, I just sit there folding and kinda trying to talk to the guy about taking a break etc but he's just ignoring me. After maybe an hour he gets up and says "hey rickroll, I'm going to get a cigarette, you want to come with me" we both walk down the hallway where he explains that he waited until the floor left because he was just standing at the main desk watching us forever. With my back to the desk I had no idea. So we step outside the Wynn and he pulls out his wallet and to his horror he see he only has like 8.5k in cash remaining. He says he's out of the chips he brought as they are all on the table now and suggests that we can go to an ATM, but at this point I'm so incredibly relieved he is actually paying me and so I just take that amount and call it a done deal knowing that had he not ffed up it would have cost me probably my entire stack of 40k or so as neither was going to be folding and with a boat he may have finally put in his first intentional raise of the day.
