Never happen again to me i bet but so so umberlivabley unlucky!! :(

cal69 · November 2009

Right after ive slept on it i have finally calmed down and just want to share it. I was playing at DTD last night down Nottingham, top ten got paid out, there was 20 players left and i was playing well, but had just below the average stack and the blinds were so big i needed to push soon. so, i pick up KQs, ahead of me someone with the average stack goes all in so i had to call, as soon as i turned my head round and called the action was on me and the dealer thoguht i had folded me cards. which i obviously didnt so i said that and he gave me them back as he didnt put the in the deck. So assuming ive got the same cards still i called all in and placed my chips over the line, then someone next to me asks did you check to see if your cards are still the same? i thought they would of been but i checked and nope they was different, obviously had got mixed up with the cards of the players that folded in front of me. I said my cards are mixed,Dealer didnt have a clue so torney director came in, we explained it and then he said the hands dead and your chips go to the player that raised all in. i was gutted!!

Unfortunate incident. There was one like that in this years WSOP.. a lady lost a pile of chips when the dealer took her cards in error. I think she had AA too.

cal69 · November 2009

yep very, i was so annyed last night but now i have calmed down, i admit i should protect my cards better, but if the dealer had thought i folded surely i shouldnt b aloud to get the cards back? :S, so the dealer didnt do his job properly, if he didd i would never of put the chips in.

I think this is the reason that a lot of players keep a chip or lucky charm ontop of their cards.

cal69 · November 2009

yep maybe, and i think form now on i will be doing exactly that!

Tikay10 · November 2009

Yes, you made a mistake (not protecting your cards) & the Dealer made a mistake, in returning them to you. A most un-DTD like Dealer error, if I may say so.

Just shows, everyone can make mistakes.

But THIS worries me much more......

".....20 players left and i was playing well, but had just below the average stack and the blinds were so big i needed to push soon. so, i pick up KQs, ahead of me someone with the average stack goes all in so i had to call,...."

"Push" soon yes, but that's VERY different to Calling!

yeah i was just about to question the call! i guess it depends wot average stack size it, if its like a sky crapshoot where av stack is 3-5 bb's then get ur money in, however i'm guessin it prob wasnt!

this proves you dont even bother reading the threads, just adding one liners for the sake of the freeroll imo

cal69 · November 2009

i couldnt possible have folded KQ with the blinds at 400 and 800, i had around 6k the average stack was about 8 so i really had to call, but that isn't the point, just the whole saituation on the whole was so unlucky, and your right you wouldnt expect a mistake to be made like this at DTD with there highly trained dealers. When i checked my cards after i placed the chips in i should of realised that if i say the cards are mixed i will be out as the hand will be done with, what i should of done is just of said there not mixed and just gone to the showdown with the two cards i had. Obviously honestly here wasn't going to work for me, but at the time you just don't think about it as you dont expect the whole situation to happen like it did.

Majj · November 2009

I don't know what could be said to console you, but on a lighter note I am enjoying the word umberlivable immensely

FlashFlush · November 2009

had this happen to a mate before, he had a bad beat leaving him very short, he went all in, dealer mucked his cards (although he kept his chips) he wud of gone on to hit flush and take a 3 way all in and get back into it

Use a card protector - if you are lucky you will get a nice flashy Sky Poker one

UL though and learn from the experience.

BUT like TK said, calling with KQ? hmmmm

apollo_11 · November 2009

Very unlucky for this to happen. Protecting your cards seem to be first thing to do at a live game.
I must admit, I would not be calling an all in with K Q, I would wait for a better spot.

cal69 · November 2009

well i will learn from it and always protect my cards from now on! were about do you get a sky poker card protector from mate?

yes i was very very ...... off, just sat at the table for 5 min after them telling me to leave, but then i realised i will just get chucked out or arrested anyway so best leave, i had a long chat to the torney director though. he seemed to think it was some kind of a joke whick ...... me off even more. When you have less than ten BB left and i picked up KQ i was goin all in no matter what but that really isnt the point, like i said before i wish i lied and said the cards werent mixed up.

borobabe09 · November 2009

out of curiosity, wot cards did u end up with?

Grimstar30 · November 2009

How annoying I did a nice reply and it got erased. Anyway...

I was saying I won the card protector via the forum, so use it well and you never know what may happen!

Also if you don't have a protector just put a chip on top of your cards, just makes sure that the dealer can see your cards are live.

In the WSOP Main Event a French lady had AA and it was mucked by the dealer, when she had not folded and was going to go all in!

Also check your cards before you muck them. Phil Ivey in the WSOP forgot to do this and mucked his hand, when in fact he had a flush and had the hand won. Even the best make errors.

Take care and all the best at the tables.
