The way it's played out all three times I've seen this come up is like this. The dealer reaches over and takes the guys cards and the guy IMMEDIATELY screams. The dealer calls the floorman over and says, "I accidentally took this players cards. They're right here." He points to the cards that hit the muck. The floorman asks the guy to write down what his cards were. The guy does so. The floorman looks at what the guy wrote, and looks at the cards. They match. The floorman returns the cards to the guy, and play continues as if the dealer had not screwed up in the first place. There could not be a better result.

Different places have different rules.

About 18 years ago, I sat down in a no limit draw poker game at a joint south of San Francisco. After folding a few hands, I announced, "Raise to 30." I took a handful of chips into the pot and cut $30 off the bottom. One of the players said, "Leave them all in." I said, "I said 30." There was no argument on that point. Everyone heard me. However, there was a rule at that club that if you crossed over a circle on the table with chips, you were obligated to bet them.

I said, okay. I didn't argue. I left the chips in the pot and quietly cashed out without even playing the hand out. I never went back. I figure that club is free to make whatever rulings they want, and I am free never to step inside the place again.

Following up my own post. I should mention that I called the floorman over. Since that was the very first bet I had made in that club, and since it was unusual that verbal declarations not be binding, I expected him to rule in my favor that one time only. When he didn't, I politely walked.

So, how hard am I supposed to fight the dealer when he reaches for my cards?

I laughed when I heard, "you must protect your hand at all times"...which is true, but sounded incredibly familar to a boxing match.....

So, where's Bart to tell us again how incredibly rare it is for one flush to lose to another?

Seat 7 is a lousy liar. Seat 9 is lousy at tells.
