Crooked house game, quads on flop, your move?

[9cao]

I can appreciate the story. When I was in University my friends and I were on a spring break trip in the Dominican and our resort had a casino with one NL table.

Only played one night, and took us a couple hundred dollars before we realized that whenever the pit came by he dropped off a rigged deck and dealer was false shuffling/cutting. Seat 1 and 10 were the guys in on it.

Being young and stupid I used this info to avoid the trap which occurred only every 15-20 hands or so, and outplayed them inbetween. I ended up recouping my money and my friends money. Then they executed it when I was in BB. It was checked to me and I folded and asked to cash out. Based on the reactions of the staff, it was at that point I started realizing that I should have just left long ago. However, I managed to make it out without major incident.

I think you did the right thing.

Forgive me for taking so long on the results I only just got up (1pm uk time heh). Some great responses.

Well, the action was on me and I realised I couldnt sit there for ages and think it through, so I checked fairly quickly. My opponent ummed and arrd a bit and bet $20 or so. I figured I had odds to call for a misdeal, so I called.

I check again, my opponent moves all in. I start shaking my head and say 'jeezuz i cant believe im gonna fold this' and laugh and say that button exposed flashed his cards and i caught a glimpse, then fold face up. Button mucks face down. Everyone clamours about it, but it seems fake. I want to see if anyone comes clean and says it was a prank, but nobody does.

So I play for a bit, folding preflop. Then excuse myself to the bathroom, get my mobile phone to play its ringtone, do a bad job of pretending to talk to my sister, then come back and explain I have to go bla bla.

I dont think ill be going back !

I would have folded the flop shown everyone and ask for the next card and show how much a thief the game is and perhaps attacked the dealer but then again your play wasnt bad either

My Grandma (who was one hell of a gin player when she was still alive), used to have a saying that I never have forgotten: "Trust everybody, and cut the cards"

[Mackerel]

That's a good start, but for a happy ending, I wait around until everyone leaves, follow the dealer home, beat him senseless, using a ballbat if necessary, take every dime he has on him, and tell him that I let him off easy this time. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

this story doesn't make any sense, what good is stacking the deck if he's going to allow you to cut?

[/ QUOTE ]

I almost never cut them. So he knows he can offer me to cut it and I'll tap it. A bit dumb I know, but amongst 'friends' I feel a bit like im accusing them of non-gentlemanly behavior if I cut the deck on their shuffle everytime.

I don't understand this logic. I play with friends all the time and we always cut the deck just because that's what a civilized poker player does.

I think the most important question you have to ask yourself here is,
WWTSD?
What would Tony Soprano do?

[Laomedon]

So, not to be a dick or anything, but how could you play in a game with people like this and not know beforehand that they were capable of pulling something this ridiculous off? I am not necessarily advocating vengeance, but have you at least considered returning the favor somehow?

I dont say anything, and tap the deck when he passes it to me to cut. This should be interesting...

Just cut the deck.

Could this guy really have set up the cards well enough to pull this off--hole cards and flop?

How did he set up the top "bunch of cards" without you noticing?


Either way you cannot continue playing in a game when you think you may be cheated.

There is too much about this story that doesn't quite make sense.I suspect we are having our collective legs pulled. I still want to hear the ending, though.

Yes, this story seems to be untrue.
