Grits and Shins Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Annual poker weekend at a buddy's lake cabin. We've been playing awhile on Friday night with some older cards - the cards are sticking together. Finally somebody finds another deck and puts it into play. 2-4 Fixed limit cash game, 7 players I'm in the big blind with As, Qh UTG - calls Fold Fold Raise Re-raise Fold I call UTG - calls Original raiser, re-raises Button re-raises again for the cap $23 in the pot, $4 to call, pretty likely both behind me will call adding another $8 to the pot I call ... pot is $33 Flop Ac - 10h - 9d Now I have a pair of Aces with a queen kicker, I bet $2 Call Raise Re-raise What do you do here? What hands to you put the raiser and re-raiser on? A-10 or A-9 seem unlikely with the raises/re-raises ... 10-9 seems a stretch ... We have to be talking about A-A, A-K, 10-10 here don't we? For whatever reason I decide to call. UTG calls Re-raise Re-raise for the cap Damn ... I should fold ... but I call, lots of money in that pot. Turn is 10d So the board looks like this Ac - 10h - 9d - 10d I have two pair Aces and Tens but am surely behind in the hand ... I check, UTG checks, bet, raise. At this point I'm convinced that one of them has trip 10s at a minimum, I fold The bidding is capped the other three stay in ... River is the Ac ... WHAT? Now there are two Ace of clubs on the board. Now we have pandemonium. So these are the cards that were held: A-9 (UTG) 10c-10c 10s-9s A-Q (me) The guy that thought he hit quad tens and was getting all the action he could possibly hope for never noticed that both of his tens were clubs. Can you guess what happened? It was a fricking Pinochle deck and the guy that got it didn't check the deck out before putting it into play.

tosberg34 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. But I'll take your word for it that it was strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBalata Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Had the same thing happen about 20 years ago. We were playing 2 card guts. Took 4 hands before we figured it out when there were 3 guys all staying in, each with a pair of Aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Pulled the pinnochle deck once before, but we were playing a hand of 5-card draw to start the night. Talk about crazy action as everyone had quads, full houses, etc. As for this hand, only thing you can do is return all bets and go back to the ratty old deck. Perhaps next time someone can invest $3 into a new deck of cards. heck, at Costco, you can buy 12 decks for like $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Or you can spend $18 or so for 2 decks of plastic cards (like Copag) that will last you a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 This happened to me once when Shiek was dealing in the Bellagio. I tipped him over $30,000 for that one hand alone after scooping the pot with 7 aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Annual strip poker weekend at a buddy's lake cabin with the same group of guys. We've been playing awhile on Friday night with some older cards - the cards are sticking together. Finally somebody finds another deck and puts it into play. Yuck.
