    Default Cheated at the Casino

    So I was at the casino on Jan. 20 and I joined a poker tournament. The buy in was $100, with 11 players.. The winner took $600. So we're playing and everything's going great.. I was the only girl at the table and the guys were looking at me like "what the hell are you doing here" as if i was a dumb girl who didn't know what I was doing. Anyways, the game goes on and 3 people get eliminated.

    I am down to $4 (started with $40). I am in the big blind, which was $4 - so it's all or nothing for me. Ok, sure.. I got a good hand, and no one knew it because I had no more money to bet with. I won the hand - Yay! Now everyone's thinking that it's beginners luck.. Sure, guys, whatever!

    Next 3 hands, I go all in with exellent cards and win, ending up with $48. So then, I get two pocket kings. I check, and only one more guy is left in the hand. You can tell he's "all that" because he's got his beard, sunglasses, hat, sweater.... Ok.. he raises $20, And I call. Now I have like $24 or so left. I didn't want to go all in because I had won the last 4 hands all in, and was kinda scared to let it all go to waste in case I lost.

    The flop comes, and it's king, ten, eight. Ok, I have 3 kings!.. Slow playing it like a dumbass, I check, and the guy puts me all in! ok whatever, I call.. It's all or nothing again! He shows his 10, ace, I show my two kings.. Great! He has a measly pair of tens and I have three kings! Next card: 10!

    Now I have a full house, and he has three tens. RIVER COMES, and it's an ace.

    Guy has: full house, 3 tens and two aces
    I have: full house, 3 kings and two tens!

    The table supervisor declared the guy the winner, and i walked away with no argument. But it eats me up inside, to think that I should've been the one to win!

    Please, poker enthusiasts, help me! Put me at ease and tell me who you think had the better hand!

    Now, in the case that I was the one who should've won, is there anything I can do?

    Arg! I'm losing sleep over this!

    Full houses are supposed to be ranked by their trips first, then by their pair if the trips are the same, so KKKTT would beat TTTAA. Yes, you should have won.

    There is probably nothing you can do about it now, but it wouldn't hurt to go to the casino's management and ask them to review the security tape of your table. You would have to remember which table you were at and the approximate time the hand was played. Considering that it has been two months though, the evidence may no longer exist.

    Ok UPDATE:

    I called the casino on Doc's advice, and they told me that my hand was the winning hand, and I should've said something then and there. In my defense, when the table manager declared the guy the winner everyone agreed with him and noone sided with me. This makes me very very upset, and now I feel like a woman in a man's world.
    The man I spoke to over the phone said there's nothing they can do, and I shoud've said something then. He offered me nothing else than that.

    Oh well, those stupid fuckers can just rot in hell, especially the biker dude whose inferior hand miraculously won.

    Hmmm....you should have been more persistant on the phone, asking for supervisor, etc....perhaps they could have compted you dinner or a room if there is a hotel in the casino.

    As long as your name and info is in their system with a Player's Card or something official, they can do all kinds of stuff for you. But they won't do anything about a phone call that could be from anyone.....

    Get a Player's Card and it won't be a problem in the future. Or play poker like I do, with my friend's in a house. Loser has to give a free nude lapdance to winner if the gender is right. We consult a poker rule book when there is uncertainty...no one loses more than $20-100.

    What Kat said. Hell... my Dad was a pit boss for years and agrees. Live and learn I haven't paid for a casino meal in years over just asking for comps. You have a players card and they know you (even if it is just in the computer) and you'll be treated very well.

    well, it's a charity casino, and I've only been there that one time, plus tonight for like, two hours. But I think this one is a low budget casino, so I doubt they have players cards.. oh well... live and learn.... tough luck for me

    I frequently play poker here in Vegas and yes, you should have won. That being said, it was still your responsability to say something when it happened. If it was close, you should have stopped the rake. I've had this same type of situation happen more times than I can count on both hands. The dealers are human and make mistakes just like any other person can. It was just a brain fart that didn't go in your favor. Chalk it up to experience and remember that it is YOU that need to pay attention to your hand first and foremost.

    As for the guy with the glasses, those are the guys I aim for first at the table. Bunch of morons who watch the Travel channel all day and think they are the next WSOP champion or something. If someone is playing at a 4/8 or 5/10 game or lower or buying in a $100 tournament wearing glasses, it has always been my experience that they are the first to get their asses kicked. Their tells are usually so obvious that covering their eyes doesn't help them one bit. Just makes me laugh.

    Is there any possibility that you remembered wrong? Something there just doesn't make sense. Male attitudes aside, I've never played poker with anyone that would make such an agregeious error and not have someone at the table say "whoa.....".

    Regardless....don't let it bother you. It won't be the last time you want to kick yourself after a hand in poker
