Re: This Never Happened to Me Before - Ruling

Had I mucked my hand as soon as I saw the bb fold (assuming I was the only one left), I would wholeheartedly agree with you. Seat 10 gets the blinds AND my raise.
But what I learned from posting this, is that the dealer awarding me the pot makes all the difference in the world. Seat 10 must speak up BEFORE the pot is shipped!

Why? The dealer makes yet another mistake and this should work in *your* favor, not SB? This kind of ruling just invites collusion and cheating between a player and dealer. The dealer could be shipping a person early pots once a night (missing players "inadvertendly" because they were talking/half-hding cards/insert excuse of choice) and the player slipping him a few bucks outside for the benefit.

But why should I be penalized for the dealer's mistake, the 10 seat's hidden cards, not to mention his inattention to the game? So you'd rule that I lose 2 small bets because of this and the 10 seat gets rewarded 3 1/2 bets, because he didn't even realize there was a hand in progress?
