I have 3 cards
Playing in a usual friendly 20/40 game at the Borgata last Saturday night.
There's a bunch of folds and the Cutoff raises, button folds, sb folds, and I toss in four chips from the big blind to call. I place a white chip on my two cards and the flop is dealt. I check call the flop. I bet the turn he calls. I bet the river he calls. I reach around my chips to grab my cards and somehow feel that there are now three cards in front of my chips all face down. I say "wait! I'm not doing anything but I have three cards." The dealer doesn't know what to do. I say "I know what I'm supposed to have. I'm supposed to have K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]" She calls the floor who looks a little dumbfounded. Someone attests that I had scooped up all three only at showdown and that prior to the river the random card had been seperate from my two cards. What is the ruling? |

Re: I have 3 cards
I think your hand is dead.

Re: I have 3 cards
You have a dead hand. Either you were dealt three cards or you didn't protect your hand from having a card mucked into it.

Re: I have 3 cards
i dont get what happened. if you were absentminded enough to either
a) have 3 cards the whole time and not say anything or b) grab an extra card from the muck i dont think you deserve any portion of the pot. if something else, then maybe |

Re: I have 3 cards
I wish I could draw a diagram.
I had my two cards with a chip ontop of them in front of my chips. There was a random other card to the left of my chipstack. When I went to turn over my hand I grabbed the first card (assuming it was mine) and also grabbed my cards (looking for the second card). |

If there is just a random card laying there the dealer or floor can just take it and muck it. Once you grab it it is in with your cards. |

Re: I have 3 cards
BTW, I need to play 20/40 if calling a preflop raise with K7s is standard.

Re: I have 3 cards
I'm afraid you're SOL. Once you have three cards, no matter how it happened, your hand is dead.
