Default Re: Need help with ruling

Poker has a saying..its one player per hand. It is the dealers fault for not absolute mucking the cards. All dealers should pull all face down cards immediately into the muck. This would stop this problem all together. Honestly, I would have had to call that hand DEAD. Two reasons, one being she thought she had lost, she folded her hand, she gave up her right to win that pot. EVen if you are able to retrieve and expose the cards, they are dead, even as winners. The second reason I would call her hand dead is because there cannot be a second person involved in the hand. I.e. her boyfriend was looking over her shoulder, saw her cards, saw they were winners. It is a players responsibility to know how to read poker hands and know the order in which they win. If she didn't know her hand was a winner it is dead. One player per hand. I couldn't really tell if you had the best or the second best hand from this post but I hope that you didn't loose too much money in this hand.
