Default Re: What Is The Worst, Most Horrible Or Funniest Mistake You Made ......

Wasn't my mistake, but a good lesson on protecting your hand:

This was midway through a $50 rebuy tournament at Ft. McDowell Casino in Arizona. I was on the button (in the #8 seat) with A9d when everyone folded to me I raised 4x the BB. The SB folded, the BB (sitting in the #10 seat) declared "All in". I paused and thought about it for a long time.... then stated, "Call!' and turned over my hand. The BB looked down to show his cards, and they were gone. The dealer had inadvertently mucked them! A floor person was called and it was ruled that his hand was dead and he was eliminated from the tournament. Uhg! Not sure about this decision.

Side note: He had KQ of spades.
