chop everytime

or never ever make a mistake like this yourself, one of the two.

I would never make this mistake, but would still chop

you'll never go through a live poker career and not spaz out and muck a winner or something stupid

Difference is, if I did this, I wouldnt claim the pot due to my own stupidity lol. Personally, if I ever muck a winner I deserve to lose, being that its my job to recognize winning hands and all Tongue

Ugh, brings back memories I still shudder about.

Yh lol, some absolute clownish moments come to mind Sad

I made a $7,500 mistake in Vegas and I mentioned it the next day and the guy snap gave me my money back - I would have legit done the same thing for him but he had no way to know that so that was very good of him.

lol $7k here in Vegas too, I just said nothing just got up and walked away as I knew there was no way in the world I was getting my cards back. That was basically the difference between a breakeven and a $7k winning trip too  Cry

I made a similar mistake in Amsterdam. I showed an Ace said chop it up and for some reason flicked the other card in the muck. The woman next to me in the hand insisted she scooped as I had not shown both cards.

Show my cards say nothing and let the floor sort it out.

Its a tournament, so I agree with this.  Don't think that a player should ever have the choice to chop or not in a tournament.  Cash obv different.

edit oh its not a tournament dont know why OP put GUKPT in the first sentence

Pretty much always chop, just do the right thing in life.  I'd be dishonest if I didn't admit a couple of exceptions for past misdemeanours.

Think I'd have to chop.

Had a situation in the deepstack once. 20 players left. Guy jams I call. His KT beats my aq. I haven't put a chip in the pot yet as announced call. Dealer gives him back his chips and blinds. He's just relieved to be in. No one at the table has noticed. Dealer about to destroy the board. I was tempted to say nothing for a split second but had to pipe up. Just couldn't live with myself.

Karma tho. Lost aq to aT to finish 17th

Karma would bite you in the bum evey time.

The geezer was wrong, but do we really need to descend to his level & do the tit for tat thing?

Meh no real such thing as karma.

If you are in a local game then chop, or give them half of a chop and they will still be grateful. If you're being a rounder takin a shot then no deal noel

In poker, karma is a synonym of variance.

I had a spot on cash the other week, I bet the river £150 with a straight, guy thinks the dealer has said £250 and throws £250 in, ruled as a raise to £300. I call and win, you give the guy back his £150?

Though its a pointless question as nobody that would keep the £150 would say so amongst all the people that post that they would give it him back. That's why threads like these are pointless imo.

Kind of this but it´s more that if you do the right thing in a spot like this, you are more likely to have the right mind set to be a succesful player.
