Re: Ethics question
He mucked, your pot, no problem.
A stupid play from my past. The pot gets big preflop, I think that I had AK, or AQ. The flop comes AKQ. The pot gets bigger. Turn J, Now it is apparent that my two pair is no good, but I have outs for a full house, and the ten for a chop, and the pot is huge. River T. We check it down, and I say I'm playing the board, and toss my hand onto the muck face down. It is mucked and I lose instead of chopping.
The funny thing is, the dealer apologizes to me, and the other player in the pot apologizes, but they didn't do anything wrong. It was my mistake, and I knew the rule, and I screwed up, they didn't do anything to contribute to it. I just hope, that I don't ever do it again.
Good luck,
play well,
Bob T.
