Attempted "robbery" at Isle of Capri LA

[dray]

Just had my bachelors party trip to Isle of Capri this past weekend with all my home game buds from here in Austin, TX.

Most interesting experience was Saturday night when my best man was involved in a pot with a serious female player. This chick was decked out in her leather jacket and sunglasses, only really talking to her lesbian friend (lover? not sure) on her left. There were 3 of us guys at the same 2/4 NL table because we all signed up at the same time.

The situation that came up was when Nick, my best man, had AA and made the 4 card nut flush on the river. The girl had Q3s and had the sucker straight on a 4 5 6 7 x board with 4 diamonds. I don't remember all the action but I know Nick check/called oop on the turn and then hit the diamond on the river and led out for 50. The girl knew she was beat but made the crying call.

So then they showdown and Nick turns over his Aces and she slowly turns over her Q3. So the dealer starts to push Nick the pot and he throws his cards away. Well she immediately starts claiming he mucked his hand as he's stacking chips. And everyone else besides her friend is telling the floor that he didn't and she's just trying to steal the pot away on a BS techincality.

It actually got a little heated between her and my other friend Jerry at the table. She was cussing at him telling him he need to shut the **** up b/c he wasn't in the hand. Her friend was telling the floor not to listen to us because we were all friends (what was she?). It was obviously very sexist that the dealer didn't give her any kind of warning about her language, because if it was a guy swearing up and down like that they'd have had the floor over there immediately.

Long story short (too late?) the floor reviewed the tape and said that the pot was already in route to Nick when he threw his cards away so it was still his pot.

But the best part about the story was in the time it took for the ruling to come back he took her for at least another 50 or so when she tried to bluff him off AK with another suited Queen (this time Q7). Everyone at the table was paying close attention to that pot, but no one said anything after it was over. But I guarantee you we all got a little satisfaction in watching that action.

**** sleezy scumbags trying to steal pots on BS technicalities.
