Top this Bad Beat!

Ok, not sure this should be in the general poker chat, but it is about general poker.  So here goes.

The Caribbean Stud Jackpot at Brantford was over 200k last week and everyone was playing.  Sunday night I give her a whirl and nada.  I come in the next morning and voila the jackpot is down to 70k.  Yuck, so much for my big win against the odds.

Then I'm at a blackjack table and hear the story.  This woman comes over to the Caribbean stud table and tells her husband that she's going out for a smoke.  Her husband says "hang on...I'll come out with you".  He finishes his hand and gets a lammer on his spot.  The place is packed so any empty spot gets immediately occupied. 

New guy sits down and plays smoke-guy's spot.  Not sure how many hands, but he does hit the Royal Flush.  Moral of the story?  Well, you write your own.  But it does make the runner runner straight flush beat seem just so insignificant.

Cheers

    Not to mention it'll kill ya
  • One good doobie and he'll forget about it. Did he not leave his chips there? Any casino I"ve been to the dealer will not allow you to sit in if the other person is expected to be back after peeing, smoking etc.
  • not true, your allowed to play at any unoccupied spot until that person returns. Your not allowed to physically sit down, nor can you touch a persons chips. Also, if the person is on there way back from somking, peeing and they want in the next hand they have the right to remove your bet before the bets are offically closed. ie. if the person is running back and they say "deal me in" then ur bet has to be removed

    To play Caribbean Stud Poker (or any other table game that you get to handle the cards) all players MUST be seated or they cannot play.

  • Poker- SIT DOWN
    Blackjack - either sit or stand.
    Craps- stand, unless you have a medical condition

    Funny. I see this somewhat differently.

    If X is smoking and Y is the negative outcome (being the loss). Did X cause Y? Therefore making smoking an expensive habit?

    I think there is more to the equation.

    Let's add new variable, the wife, let's assign it the letter B.

    Therefore:

    B causes X which results in Y.

    Given the assumption that X would not have occured without the influence of B.

    If we accept this assumption than X and Y has a spurious relationship.

    The inherent link, or non-spurios relationship, is B and Y.
