NEARLY costly error in 5/10...
 

I am in SB with KQ and 2 callers, then I just flat call and the BB checks. Flop comes A 10 K, and I check. BB bets, and I certainly cannot put him on any ace, as he has been raising them all night... Everyone else folds. Then I bet into him on the turn and of course get raised...

Moral of the story is that the river comes a K and I bet out knowing that he'll check behind me... He calls and says "You hit your king didn't you?" I'm sitting in seat 1 and he's in seat 2, so I just flipped my cards up so he could see them, then apparently I flipped them back down into the muck. The dealer then awarded the pot to him, but he was a very nice guy and gave it to me. I offered to give him $25 for being nice, but he refused.. I'll certainly buy this guy a hot dog or something next time I see him.

My cardinal rule, never throw away your cards until you are certain the hand is over and correctly rewarded.

Thats a rule I'm always going to try to remember.

Yeah, even though I've played thousands of hands at this casino, I still made a stupid move and just got lucky that he was a nice guy. The pot size was 75 dollars, so I'm certainly glad he was nice. Next time I see him playing, I'll offer to buy him dinner or something...

I did something similar in a 2/4 game in a 10BB pot. Dude had a busted straight and I thought he hit (it was late, and I was pretty new to the game still) so I flip up and then into the muck. Everybody saw I had the best hand but dude gets the pot and laughs and keeps it. I saw him on a 4/8 table after my skill had increased and busted him. I accept blame for my part, but dude was a douche.
