Re: Neighbor wasnt protecting his cards... i feel so dirty. (long)
Having the dealer swoop up your cards is different than tabling your hand and having the dealer read it incorrectly. In the 2nd situation you have gone to showdown, the hand is over, and you KNOW that your hand is no good, by all rights the winning hand should get the pot because "the cards speak for themselves".
Having the dealer muck your cards sucks but it does happen and with action still happening in the hand you are not unethical to keep the pot.
