If you guys want to save 7 minutes of your life, go to the 7:15 mark with the following knowledge:
Guy on phone with Bart was barreling the entire way with 8 high no draw, shoved blank river, got a call, said "Aces" when in reality he had 8 high.
This was a "25/50" game, but it was 25/50 pesos, which is equal to $1/$2 US.
Then listen from that point (7:15 mark).
Will discuss on radio tonight.
It makes a lot more sense that this didn’t escalate because it was a low stakes game. If this was a real $25/50 in a busy room in LV, LA, AC etc and a guy tables the 8 high after lying about his hand there is just no way this doesn’t get ugly. In fact even in a 1/2 game in most rooms this would of been a major issue.
I know it always goes back to everyone is responsible to protect their hands. I wish more poker rooms would make a rule that if a player is deemed to have deliberately lied about the strength of his hand at showdown clearly in an attempt to get the other player to muck the winner the pot is forfeited.
This reminds me of the first time I ever sat at a Poker table. It was 2005 and I lived 20 Minutes from the local Casino (Fallsview Casino, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada). I had only played online ($5 SitnGos) and a couple times with co-workers after work. One Friday I decided to drive to the Casino to play. The only open seat was a $5-$5. I had a great job so I could afford to lose a little money. So I sat. I remember losing $500 fast. So I bought in for another $500. I remember having AK offsuit and the board playing out K,9,8,Q,10 with 4 to a flush (I did not have the flush). I called the whole way(To afraid to raise and just being over all intimidated). The pot was about a $1000. He moved all in on the river and I of course called. He said Flush and remember feeling terrible. I flipped my cards over, because that is what they did on the WPT broadcast. I pushed my chips to the dealer and began to leave. The player to my left grabbed my arm and told me the guy needs to show his cards to win. I was confused and looked at the dealer who was trying to get my opponent to open his cards. He started banging his hand on the table saying I folded. Then I did the biggest fish thing ever. I told the dealer he had a flush and began to reach for my cards to muck them. The player to my left again grabbed my arm and told me to hold on. They brought the Manager over and my oppenent yelled and yelled but ended up having to muck his hand. I got the pot. I thanked everyone at the table and the dealer. I remember tipping the dealer $20 and buying the guy on my left a drink (Gin and 7up. I don't know why I remember the drink). I spent the next hour being criticized by that opponent for being a calling station and every time i called a bet he said "Must have AK".
2 plus 2 had a thread few years ago where a guy asked a player during hand if he would call 50 on the turn and the guy said yes. Turn came and player who said would call 50 declined to call. Floor was called and told player he had to call the 50. That was the worst angle I've seen.
