There's also that old T J Cloutier story which he used to repeat all the time in his (not very good) books back in the day:

He was in a cash game and had TT. He raised, opponent reraised, one caller, Cloutier all-in, opponent all-in. The third player showed the other TT face up and folded. Cloutier's opponent had KK.

Then the dealer dropped the deck on the discards by accident, and the ruling was that they all had to be shuffled in together before the board was dealt, which meant the two Tens were back in the deck. The board ran out something like K 5 T 6 ... T. Pretty sick for the guy with KK!!

And that's just sick lol

Tommy Angelo wrote a story along these lines in "A rubber band story". Excellent collection of stories, but I'm a massive fan boi so

Me too, love Tommy Angelo. Elements of Poker is the best and most important book ever written on poker. And there is a HUGE gap between it and the second best book.

I remember years ago playing in a cash game - there was a raise and five people called. The dealer made as if to deal the flop and then apparently thought better of it, dropped the deck on to the discards and started to shimmy (sp?) them together. I had never seen this happen before and was a little surprised. Not the dealer though... he simply rolled his eyes and called out to the card room manager, "Arnie! It's happened again!"

Lolz

Lol. Had years of dealers like this
