Igra Poker
Posted under Poker Stuff on May 4th, 2008
Let me tell you a little story, this happened somewhere in Indonesia, in one of their most obscure places there. I will not tell you the actual name (it's not a city), but the locals there call it "Igra". Well, I stayed in there for about a month (work, not a vacation for me) and the only recreation was going to their (semi-illegal) casino which of course, I would rather not name.
Well, Igra Poker (since that's the only casino there, "Igra Poker" is a fair term)- was both weird and amusing. More than a few times, I witnessed the most outrageous of events, let me give one.
In a NL game, there were these players: Mr Cool, Mr Keys (he had a dozen keys with him), and Mr Fish. Mr Keys went all in with 500$ (yes, they used dollars), Mr Fish folded, Mr Cool called with pair of 10s. Dealer (who must have been one stupid idiot) did not see this and put the deck on muck, when the game was paused, the decision was to reshuffle everything save for those held by Cool and Mr Keys.
Flop gave Keys a 3 of a kind, but the turn arrived with a 10, giving Mr Cool a 4-of-a-kind 10s. Now, what is weird with Igra Poker, you may be asking now?
When showdown came, you know what happened: the 2 players had exactly the same 4 of a kind holding! (The Fish guy turned out he had pocket 10s in the beginning of this Igra Poker misadventure).
Truth: the dealer made a mistake, she has placed dropped cards at the deck, and dished them out for another time at the flop and then the turn phase.
You know what was so amusing: if this happened in a Vegas place, that dealer would be facing termination at the end of the hour, but not there, not in Igra. Everybody laughed, and the players (all of them) gave large tips to this BRAINLESS dealer! Wow, good thing Igra is a unverse away from Vegas.Social Bookmarking
