This ever happen to you?

I'm sitting in the casino. Waiting for the monsters. Fold, fold, fold.

Finally I get wired ones. The table donk, who has a very large stack pushes. The table folds around to me cept for one 4 dollar call. I call. I push my chips out and leave my cards right next to the rail. I have no chips for a card protector as I've pushed. (you see this coming?)

The the dealer (THE IDIOT FRICKEN DEALER) starts dragging folded cards in and in the process absent mindedly MUCKED MY ACES. Just stuck em in the muck.

FLOOR MAN..... "Sorry sir, your cards have been mucked and the pot goes to the donkey." Then to rub it in, the donk turned over a T9o.

I can honestly say that has never ever ever, happend to me. Yet then again, when I play live I play on the electronic tables .

Sry for your loss BTW

That's why I always keep my cards close to me out of the dealer's reach unless I fold. Casino has very strict rules and you have to be cautious when you play there. I always say raise before I put any chips out to avoid any accusations of string betting.

Did you announce clearly that you were pushing? I always make sure that the dealer knows what I am about to do and if he goes a reaching for my cards I scream my ass off.

Also might be wise to bring a protector of some sort for those all in cases when you don't have a chip left to put on there. Just a suggestion.

I also play limit when I am at the casino most of the time, so I am probably not the one for giving advice.

now i know were the exprecien kill the dealer come from. shooot him

never happend to me but thats very bad

i have had in a home game with friends 1 mate of me is always to fast see his cards out of turn always to fast. 1 time i had AK spade flop a king with 2 spades and he is a bluffer i bet he reraises me i take a real long time to think it over and on the moment i wanted to raise all in he trow his cards open on the table thinkin i fold and his bluf worked but no he had nothing and u a nut card stupid hand

hate it when play live and people go out of turn get the cards and look right always but as poker player u cant get good reads when 5 people look there cards at the same time

So you lost all of your stack aswell, did the casino compensate you in any way, surely the could have checked their camera footage and reimburstyou in some way, If not I hope you waited outside for that dealer to comeout on his way home and taken it out of his hide and his wallet

what a story

if that did ever happen to me i would have to call the police because things are about to get out of controll

i hope you atleast got your room comped

Holy shit. I would have gone insane. Literally. I play in the casinos more than I do online, and I've never witnessed such a blatant, costly mistake as you describe. Would have absolutely lost it. You must have been sitting right next to the dealer. All the dealers at my casino know me well, and ask verbally before takin my cards. How much was in front of you when you pushed?

Man oh man, people would have got hurt that night.

This also never happened to me, but I never played live too

It would have made me sick, if something like that had happened to me...
After that, better go to sleep and forget this crual day...

Thought I did.

Yep

Did a whole lot of that

Card protectors bring me bad luck. Though, in this case......

Nope... The whole table saw what happened cause they were exited to see the donkey get hit. They were all on my side. Even the donkey. Nuthin anybody could do but apologize.

Right on her left. Seat 1

Somewhere around $135.00

ya it happened 2 me.i had Ks.the donk had 9s.i wanted 2 hit the dealer in the mouth.by the time all was said i got kicked out 4 a month.

Insane. Never happened to me but I would definitely be banned for awhile from that casino cause i`d be blowin a fuse that would make Hellmuth proud. My condolences my friend, hope Lady Luck pays you back.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Not quite the same but I was in AC last year and was playing Limit Omaha H/L. I hit a straight on the river, but it also brought a 3rd club. Guy in front of me checked, and I checked because I thought he may have hit his flush. He says he has the flush, I took about 5 seconds and then mucked. Dealer then announces that he didn't have a flush (guy had trip Ks and one club). He raked the pot, dealer apologized for not calling out his hand sooner.

I was upset by it and actually left the table soon after, but I ultimately had no one to blame but myself. I should have either verified that he in fact had the flush (especially since he was required to show first) or I should have let my cards speak and shown them anyway.

It cost me about a $40+ pot but at least it was a good lesson.

That must be pretty disappointing. I know the casinos have to be strict but that is some BS... Oh well, beat him on the next hand right?

I know everyone is thinking that a card protector is the only way to stop this, but the dealers themselves take no pride in dealing. They're just there to make money for themselves & the casino. Not saying that she did it on purpose, in fact she probably felt real bad, but never the less, PAY FREAKING ATTENTION. Pay attention to what's going on and not trying to be the table friend. They're there to do a job, not to be the social bugs that they are. The casinos STRICT policies about protecting your cards are to protect them from stupid dealers. It allows them to shift the blame to you.

There, I feel better and yes this has happened to me.

wow that sucks royally...sorry bro. Ill remember for myself at least to always say raise and keep cards close to me.

wow. that has to be one of the most bullshit rules in a casino. i dont know much as Singapore doesnt have casinos, but when they open the IR, i'll keep these stories in mind.

This hasn't happened to me. But...Playing online I have Folded the nuts by mistake. AND I have gone allin by mistake with 74os. This happened to me when I had too many tables open and I am trying to just get to they table to act. Luckily noone called my allin. But folding the nuts hurt. LOL

ive seen it happen in a tourny to someone else once. whenever ur in seat 1 or 10 always have something to use for card protector. or a verbal all in and leave chips in place

have also seen people toss cards towards the dealer and if they mingle with yours and their not protected ur screwed.

Honestly, it seems like it happend to me a few days ago! I had q10 and the other guy goes all in, everyone folds except for me I thought then boom cards are mucked gone. the board was two queens and a low card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That really sucks...

but take it on board and remember to always protect your cards.

The rules are against you on this one.. the dealer screws up.. but its you who looses out... so in future.. protect your cards!!!

Even though this happened did you remember to give the dealer a tip?...



.. like wear some F****ng glasses!! lol

Donkey should have relinqueshed his hand....I would have.

if that actually did happen to your then i hope you learnd a good lesson from it... you are in charge of your cards.. put your hand on top of them or take a chip protector with you to the casino when u go there.. im sorry it happened to you but dont ever let it happen again..

LOL don't ever go back to that casino again!
Matter o' fact, don't ever play at the same table as that dealer lol.

same thing happened to me in a tourny at my local pub but we ended up beting the hand out to the river the guys ask what i had and my KK had been muck with the others cards i knw how you feel

Not so long ago (until the end of the 19th century) the dealer would have been shot right

inside the saloon if this had happened. I bet they concentrated harder on what they were

doing than todays dealers. I guess he/she has nightmares about you ripping his/her eyes out.

no , can't say i have i always use some to protect my cards even if its quater out of my pocket.
