blonde poker forum

For a mystery blonde (why do I always get the phone call?)

A raise pre flop, called and our hero in the BB calls with  Qs Ts


FLOP  4c 8s Ts

Pre-flop raiser bets out 1,000


What does our hero in the BB with  Ts flopped and in his hand do?

What should a TD do?

hand void chips returned

Tell the dealer, new deck, chips back and replay the hand.  Surely nothing else can happen?

or can it....

Hero should shove all in probably, not only does he have a pair, a flush draw and a backdoor straight draw, he also has a much better chance at getting quads with three more tens out there and only two needed.

this.

it did

Our hero suggests voiding the hand when the raiser says

"No, I've got pocket kings, I want to play the hand out"

they played it out !!! and our hero spiked a ten (trip tens?) on the river to bust the Kings

I think, I lost the will to live before the end of the phone call

Go to DTD instead of the Gala?

Raiser is a numpty, how can the hand continue?   Hero should have should have pressed for the right decision, but nice scoop

Glad KK lost tbh

Actually hero should have stuck with the decision if the villain wanted to see his kings play out, he was the favourite to win the hand, especially with the extra ten possibly out there. KK is a proper numpty as you say.

he wasnt favorite villain had  Ks Ks

+1

ruling was hand played out with just chips in middle

i spiked the river and gave everyone there chips back

then the other tables deck was found to have only 49 cards

whole comp was restarted dispite players having been knocked out and some of us sitting with 2x average stack

I assume with that ruling you were TD Iron??

Void hand, return all bets, new deck.

To play this hand out is simply unfair. The two of you in the pot can't simply decide "shall we run it or not?" - the rules are clear here.

Perhaps more importantly, why are the decks wrong? Were they not spread on the table visible to all players before play commenced?

dealer should count remaining cards while hand in progress every other hand/opptnT FACT

no i wasnt or i would of voided the hand and restarted from where it was

+2................well played Sir.

 Ts should be wild from this hand onwards imo.

this really is the simplest ruling ever. any td who rules anything other than a foul deck should be looking for another job

good job he has one as manager of the pub

Ugh.  It gets worse.  Was it a real tourney or a publicity stunt for a book entitled "how to do everything wrong when running a poker tournament"?

I assume you're deliberately not outing the name of the establishment? :-(  (not enquiring for point/laugh but simply to know which places shoudl be avoided)

it was just a pub league game

they had a later than normal liecence so thought bugger it we have extra time

Give the pot to the short stack even if he wasnt involved in the hand then whole table drags dealer out into carpark for a good kicking for not spotting the dirty deck to start with :)

Blame Dewi - he was the TD.
