The I've Never Seen That Before at a Poker Table Thread

[Tal]

A place to tell the world something you've only ever seen once while playing cards. 

For some of the more experienced players, this might be a challenge, but it should hopefully throw up some good stories.

Today, the table captain at the local Grosvenor, a 19 year old earphone dangling ninja, who has been playing 80% of pots, at least a dozen dark, met the arrival of the valet with the words...

"Hello. Can I have a milk, please...with ice?"

I once played on the same table as a guy who used his wife's ashes in an urn as his card protector.

[RED-DOG]

I once saw someone climb on to the table, lower his trousers and do a little dance.

A woman I shared a table with at the weekend was doing a colouring in book. Thought it was pretty unique.

That's not that odd. I've ordered coke and milk together before. It's quite nice.

At least that's a cocktail

In The Oaks cardroom in Northern California I saw someone flash a gun he was carrying after he thought he was slowrolled. He was asked to leave very shortly afterwards, I'm not sure what (if anything) happened after that - hopefully nothing.

I saw a guy muck his hand straight down the slot into the rake box.

He was chucking his cards about all night, and he was lucky enough to fling them so hard they bounced off the dealer button opposite and floated straight down the hole without touching the sides. You couldn't replicate it if you tried a thousand times.

This happened at GUKPT Luton a couple of years ago. 



Guaranteed to have happened countless times around the world and online, but the best part is we all managed to talk our way into receiving the standard free drink from the bar for a straight flush as we were technically involved in the hand because of the antes.

The Luton Grovesnor giving away £40 worth of drinks, never seen that before or after for that matter.

Seen a guy in Macau have a very scary fit/seizure at my own table. He was young too.

I was absolutely amazed that after it happened (he hit his head too on a drinks table) that staff didn't insist he get some medical attention.

His friend said it was the first time it happened yet when he came around he was assisted to the bathroom for 5 minutes and came back out and insisted he continue playing.

I couldn't believe the whole thing. I'd want an ambulance asap if that was me.

Roger Brush clearing the whole cardroom after just a single fart.

Would love to read the stories behind these one liners.

Playing poker in Vegas and the loud drunk opposite announces he needs to visit the bathroom. Gets up, walks around, finds a suitable fruit machine and urinates all over it. Audible gasps from everywhere. Think it was a Da Vinci's Diamonds.

Playing poker in Macau and after a particularly intense session I walked into the bathrooms to find a rather sweaty chinese player literally wringing his pants and socks into the sink. Audible gasp from me.

I played at the Luton G one time and we got down to the last 3 tables and Chompy was insisting we waited until the last 2 tables before sorting out a deal.

Not poker table but blackjack.

My Brother my mate, and myself in Vegas '99. Very earlier in the morning drunk. My brother very.

Playing away and the dealer asks me if my friend may want to retire!?

I turned and he was face down, asleep on the table!  We left
