Wasted, dealt from the wrong deck, bluffed out opponent

[morphball]

Home tournament with two decks, red and blue, small blind always gets a deck to shuffle to be ready to deal when he is the blind.

I in the SB, and I am shuffling the red deck. I am dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], and it folds to the button, who calls. I raise, BB folds, button calls. Blinds are large as tournament is at the end stages.

This is where I screw up. Wasted, and I deal the flop from the red deck. The button, who should be dealing, checks on a KJx-rainbow flop. I bet 2/3 of the pot. Button calls, and I again deal the turn from the wrong deck, the turn is a brick, button checks, and I bet 1/2 the pot.

Button thinks for a long time and then folds. I muck behind, and then the table realizes what happens. I say that button had as much responsibility as I did to figure out what was going on in the hand, and his fold gives me the pot. Everyone gets hissy, and I say BB folded before any mistake was made, so he is definitely out of the pot. Then I say, since button threw his cards in the muck, his hand is dead. Cry, cry and more cry, and since it's supposed to be a friendly game, I agree to chop the pot with the whiny button, even though that pot gives me a lock on getting to heads up, and pretty much makes me a favorite to win the tournament.

These guys don't know so much about poker, and I guess for political reasons splitting the pot may have been the best play, but was I right? Should the pot have been mine?
