I didn't protect my hand so I'll just play two random cards

[bav]

Another "I've never seen THAT before"...

NL1/2 game and a guy has just donked off 3/4 of his stack chasing something that didn't hit. He's clearly on tilt as he posts the $2 big blind and he announces "I'm going all in blind". It's not like people didn't hear him, and he repeated it when someone asked "does that mean you aren't even going to look at your cards?"

So it's limp, limp, limp, raise to $12 and true to his word BB goes all-in for $54 having not looked at his cards. Fold, fold, fold, and before $12 can say "call" or "fold" BB says "HEY! MY CARDS?! WHERE ARE MY CARDS?" Yep, they've been swept away. So here we sit with $6 in dead money in the pot, the $12 raise, and $54 from the BB. Floor is called, of course.

Floor has a bit of a deer in headlights look and initially suggests that the BB will just tell us what his two cards were and we'll fetch 'em from the muck. No can do--BB didn't look. BB says "I'll just give the guy $12 and take back the rest--he never called the all-in". The $12 guy kinda grumbles about that. So BB says to him, "ok...how 'bout I just play these two cards here" and he pulls a couple cards out of the muck at random. $12 says "ok" and the floor seems downright relieved and says if these two guys want to do this, it's fine with him. So BB plays the two randomly chosen cards from the muck and the other guy calls the $54.

BB flips over KhJh. $12 raiser rolls his eyes and flips overs 7h8h.

Genius. The guy raised to $12 with 87s KNOWING the BB was going to go all-in? And then fought hard to not accept the $18 in the pot and insisted on playing it out? He lost as he so totally deserved to, and $54 dude doubled up.
