oceans 11 underage jackpot story

[csuf_gambler]

friday night, im playing in my usual 8/16 game. we get a new lady dealer. she starts going on incomprehensibly about how she was just dealing a game and that some kid kept saying he didn't want to hit the jackpot. she slows down and starts to explain the story. she was dealing in the 1-1 $40 NL game. there were 3 on board and there were 2 players in the hand. one of the players was a kid and he kept yelling that he didn't want to hit the jackpot. he ends up hitting the jackpot. i forgot the exact situation but it was something like the kid having KK and his opponet having AQ or the other way around. well it turns out that the kid wasn't 21 and thats why he kept saying he didn't want to hit the jackpot. the kid just won $27,000. the dealer goes on to say that the casino will actually hold the jackpot for him till he turns 21! everyone at my table was like wow thats pretty generous of the casino. she says that the casino took a picture of him and barred him from the casino till he turns 21(duh, its a 21 and over place.she kept repeating the barring part for some reason). i asked her that since the kid wasn't of age, don't they just void the jackpot. shes says no since theres too many other people involved. they don't want to piss off the other players. i also asked if they let the kid cash out his chips that he had on the table and she said no, the casino wll hold his money and he can come back at 21. but if the kid had just lost the hand then he wouldn't of had any money on the table, so i don't know. the dealer was one of those asian lady's who spoke broken english so i don't know if she was saying if the kid was the winner of the hand or the winner of bad beat. i wanted to ask more questions but i refrained because i was in a similiar situation being underage too.

god i hope to god that my table never hits a jackpot. i just wanna play poker, i don't care about some fuking jackpot. this presents a few situations for me. im thinking of ways to handle jackpot situations. whenever i play there, i never carry any form of ID. i leave my drivers license in my car. so if i were to be involved in a jackpot and they say i can come back at 21, how would they know it's me when i come back(how would they id me from the jackpot)?



my money on the table is the 2nd issue. if i were involved in the jackpot, i wouldn't mind just cashing out and never coming back till i was 21. but if they also took the money that i have on the table, that would suck. this makes me not want to play the 20/40 there, i would have too much money on the table.
