10-20 no limit

everyone folds to your mother who is in the small blind. She raises with her last $50. You fold from BB.

live 1/2 nl game. You are sb. You and bb both have $5000. Everyone folds, and as people are folding someone accidentally flips up 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. You look down and see A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. You get tricky and just complete. Big blind pushes for $5000. Before you can doing anything, he says "Don't do anyting stupid" and show you A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. It's now $4998 to win $5002. Since two black cards were exposed, your equity is only .496 and his is .504, making a fold mathematically correct.

You are playing with no table stakes, and someone raises more than your net worth.
You muck

McGyver runs into the room and says "I need two aces and a wad of chewing gum, otherwise the nuclear device in the next room will detonate in 10 seconds."

Let me make it clear that I am theoretically assuming that the dealer is unable to complete the hand in 10 seconds; otherwise I am sure someone would spot a problem with my example. I'm also assuming you are chewing some gum.

You're on the button. UTG opens for $20. UTG+1 makes it $50. Folds to the CO who pushes all in for $1000. You have the table covered. You look at your cards and see A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

You muck them and ask for a deck change.
