Re: Tough lesson learned re: mucking after showdown in a B&M game
When I won my very first B&M pot, I didn't even know I had won. I had cut my teeth playing $0.25/$0.50 and $0.50/$1 on Planet Poker (anyone remember that one?). My wife and I were visiting Vegas for the first time, and she convinced me to try $3/$6 at the Mirage.
Anyway, I folded for a while; finally I got Presto and limped in. The board was ragged, and it was heads-up, so I check-called with it thinking I was up against overcards. At the end, the other guy checks behind and flips over one pair with J-9 sooted, and I disgustedly show my fives. Only when the dealer pushes the pot to me do I realize that I had a 6-high straight.
