Card protectors FTW!

A strange one this.
I dont use a card protector and on most tables you dont need one because of the betting line.
On tables without betting lines, I just tend to hold my cards as protection (I had a similar hard luck story to the clip - though not as big as hers LOL)
However, I remember at the vic, constantly being told off about this because the dealer couldn"t tell if I was in the hand or not ??? ???
In one instance, I was told to put a chip on it if I wanted to protect my hand. I replied "I"m all in, who is going to protect my hand now?" and suggested the poker gods??
I was called by AA, I had QQ but first card out was a Q (weeeeeeeeee)
I was quite drunk!! ;D

was on a final table at Caesar"s when this happened to a french guy with 4 of us left. His had was also declared dead and he almost nutted the dealer and went on supermokey tilt. He called the dealer a "monster"
I Lol"ed and then stacked him. He stormed out of the cardroom.
Also seen it happen in the DTD £300
don"t let this happen to you - protect your hand!!

I used a cunning move I read in the book Ghosts at the table! Can"t remember the exact story but basically whoever it was accidenyly or not his cards were in the muck pre flop. the other player didn"t notice and a flop was dealt where the opponet bet out 1st. The player thinking this was a weak bet then raised with no hole cards and won the pot. Then just last week in a pub league game I raised on the button and thought everyone folded but one. As I dealt the flop I realised I had inadvertadly put my hole cards in the muck too. I had a crappy 58o but seemed destined to steal with how passive the table was. Anyway flop is AQx and the opponent bets out 1/3rd pot timidly di I announce a raise and he instamucks. Wouldn"t have worked anywhere else I reckon

dealer should be sacked imo - that was a terrible mistake. he actually reached into her space to take the cards away, despite her having moved all her chips in. Clearly not concentrating.

Down to the rules, yeah...hand is dead, but blimey! He reached right in there for them.

The one that caught me out was on the FT at the World Amatuer. I thought that I was in the BB and placed my chips in accordingly, but was actually first to act. The dealer dealt the hands and I was considered to have called. My observation was that surely the dealer should have advised that it was not my BB this time and returned my chips before he dealt or had only dealt one card.
Anyway, it was deemed a call, and 20% of my stack was in the middle for nothing.
Lesson is be careful at the table with your cards and chips, and watch out for crappy dealers

Ive seen this several times now, and it gets worse and worse. What a donky dealer. He had a concentration lapse, and if it happenens to me i would wait for him in the car park. intresting comments on youtube if you read them.
It would of been nice to see Tran give her the pot IMO.
