Default Re: Strange Claims

Last night I was playing in my weekly home $20 buy-in NL tournament, when multiple players made a claim that just dropped my jaw.


I raised the pot heads up with another player with AsKd when the flop came Ad-9d-2d. I lead out, and another player folded after about 2 minutes of thinking, but insisted we rabbit hunt. I didn't care, and a diamond came up on the turn and he showed disappointment that he missed his flush, but I showed my Kd, giving me the nut flush. The dealer went to the river and it was a 5th diamond, to which everybody was in awe. Another player came in and said to my heads up opponent "You folded a split pot!" as if it were a horrible play. I tried to point out that since I had the Kd that I would have won with an AK9** flush over AJ9**, but 3 of the 6 players were convinced that since the board had an ace high flush, it would have been split.

Just a little curious as to other bizarre claims similar to this that have players in other home games have made.

Years ago when I started playing casino poker in aroom just after it had opened i saw a women throwing a tantrum in the poker room. There was a flush on the board, but her opponent has a card of the suit that played and therefore had a higher flush than her. She was screaming at the floorman that she played in every poker room in vegas and this was split pot and he didn't know what he was doing.
