Playing 2/5NL. On the button with about $2,000 in front of me.
UTG opens for $30 and gets two callers. I call with 3-3. SB folds. BB, loose player with huge stack, makes it $130. UTG and both his callers call the re-raise. $100 into $550 with a small pair on the button? I call.
Flop is 8h,3h,3d. Player across from me, brand new to the table, laughs and blurts out "Always play the first hand! I mucked 8-3 off!"
A couple of players, and the dealer, tell him off for giving players in an active hand that info. I of course keep my mouth shut.
There's 10d on the turn and the Ah on the river. Turns out UTG had 8-8, BB had 10-10, and one of the other pleflop callers had 9h-10h, short stacked.
There's fairly heavy betting on every street, I just call, till I go all-in on the river for my last $500, and BB calls me. (UTG and the flush are already all-in).
BB goes ballistic when I turn over my quads, saying he would never have called my all-in except that the new player had claimed to throw away a 3. UTG said he'd also never have put all his chips in had he known it was possible I'd called the preflop with 3-3.
Both players demand the floor should nullify the hand and count everyones chips back. I strenuously disagree, and the floor sides with me.
Now, there's no question the new player was WAY out of line - but does *anyone* think the floor should have nullified the hand?
