"I Have a Bad Card"

[andyfox]

All fold to me in middle/late position and I raise with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. All fold to the small blind. He asks the dealer for a floorman.

Floorman comes over and small blinds say, "I Have a Bad Card." Everyone else says, "So what?" Small blind says, "Everybody will know what I have." Someone else says, "If you hadn't said you had a bad card, nobody would have known."

Floorman asks how many people have acted. Dealer answers, correctly, seven. Floorman says he must play his hand. He calls as does the big blind. Three of us to the flop, which is:

A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]:3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I have whiffed completely. Check, check, I bet. Small blind check-raises, big blind 3-bets.

The floorman is still at the table. I say, "Floorman?" The floorman looks at me inquisitively. I say:

"I have two bad cards."
