Re: (Quick Q) Mucked winner: This was correct right?
[ QUOTE ]
I would highly recommend always re-checking your two hole cards when the dealer is preparing to deal the flop. I do this each hand - and then repeat my cards in my head as if I were saying them out loud (without moving my lips...). It cuts down on these types of mistakes - and when a 1-suited flop hits I don't need to check my hole cards to see if I have one of that suit... [/ QUOTE ] QFT - there's a great two second window between the end of preflop betting and the flop being dealt. Use it and you are a step ahead of the field. Just be careful, I see people that only recheck when they 'have' to - which tells me when they have suited cards.

I do this every hand whether I know I have 2 red queens or something less distinct. I like to think this prevents me from giving off that tell, at least.

[ QUOTE ]
meh, unless it's the end of a reallllly long session or i'm tired, i find it pretty easy to just remember my cards after looking at them only once. [/ QUOTE ] Stuck and tilting, I made a bad limp/call against a $60 preflop raise with 45s suited at the end of a session against a nice guy regular who sometimes can be a little maniacal. Flop comes Q23 and I call another $100 with my open ender not realizing he only has $100 left (did I say I was tilting?). Turn is a 6. He pushes and I say "sorry Dan, I have to call, I have the nuts". Dan flips up Q8o, and I flip up my hand, Dan looks at my cards, then the board, then back at my cards, puzzled. River is a 5. Dealer gives me a weird look, Dan looks heartbroken, dealer ships me the pot, I give the dealer my cards with a nice tip. The whole time I didn't even look at my own cards. Guy next to me says "you really needed that river". I say "no I didn't, I turned a straight." He says, "You had 65 of diamonds, the river gave you two pair." Immediately I knew he was right, the image of the 6d5d I had peeked at just a minute before suddenly seared itself into my brain. I say "I think I need to leave now" and immediately rack up.

Re: (Quick Q) Mucked winner: This was correct right?
Yeah, the first time I played $1/2 live, it was a good chunk of coin in play for me. I called an all in on the river when I was sure I had a straight. I was "one off" - had 42 instead of 32, or 43 instead of 23, something like that. But I felt like Austin Powers and the dealer said in that tone of voice "You have a pair of 2s, sir." I felt like saying in my Austin Powers tone of voice "Well I must admit, cards aren't my bag, baby." I realized I was too tired to be playing and went to bed, a couple hundred in chips lighter.
