Had a rather frustrating situation this weekend. Normally when I play live, I know I suck (translate, not that great), so I normally just find a cheap limit table and have a little fun when I go to a casino. However, someone gave me a couple hundred bucks to do whatever with this weekend, so I decided to give a $1/$2 NL table a shot. Within the first 30 minutes or so I ended up getting a pretty strong hand (not the nuts), I only had about $80 in my stack so (long story short) I was all in by the river. However, let me explain the river; (heads up) I had a strong hand and decided I would throw out a bet, the other player raised me enough to be all in. After previous rounds, I only had $12 left so I decided WTH, why not, so I called. First of all, he asked to see my cards FIRST, the dealer had to explain, "sir, he called your raise, you have to show your cards first." So he turned his cards over. I could see I was beat and mucked my cards. Before the dealer could get them in the mix, the other player said "can I see his cards?" The table went silent and the dealer said "you do have the right to see his cards." But the dealer did not turn them over yet, so the other player said "I would like to see his cards then." So, of course, the dealer exposed my mucked hand. From my understanding, he did have the right to see my hand, but that sure did piss me off . I sat there for another 2 hours and the other player never again asked to see another hand and, it appeared to me, he was an experienced player. This table was newly formed, so it's not like he picked me out just because I sat down by myself and he wanted to see what I was up to. I have no idea why he pulled that $hi!, but it really sucked. I started with $100, re-bought for $100 and left with $160. Not too bad for 3 hours of my first $1/$2 live session (I guess).
