A strange thing happened yesterday afternoon when a new 15-30 game was being started at the Bellagio.


When starting a new Hold'em game, the Bellagio will scramble all the cards in the deck. Then, all the players will select a card. Whoever picks the highest card gets the button at the start of the game.


During the scramble, The Ac and 9h were accidentally flipped up by the dealer. He then turned them face down and did a half-ass scramble. However, it was painfully obvious where the Ac was.


Do I choose the card which I'm 99% sure is the Ac?


Or do I pick another card at random?


Or do I tell the dealer to do his job right?


Results: I picked the Ac. However, somebody else snagged the Ad and made it all irrelevent.


By the way, Pokerbabe and Hosh were at this table. Niether one of them seemed aware that this had happened.
