Default Re: Calling the floor to replace a misdealt turn card?

[ QUOTE ]
If the mucking player's hand will still be dead, isn't calling for a new card a bit of an angle-shoot?

[/ QUOTE ]

The player who mucked thought that he was pulling an angle-shoot, I think, so I don't have any sympathy over the fact that he threw away his hand when faced with what he assumed was the turn card (without having called the flop bot).

But you raise an interesting point--is it an angle-shoot to invoke the rules, which by doing so will cause this bad card for me to go away?
