Anybody ever Accidentally muck the winning hand at showdown?
Happened to me a few months back and it still makes me cringe.
Can’t even remember exactly what my hand was, but it was definitely a big-blind special. Think it was like 4-8o or something. 1/1 NL, $300 behind. V has about $200.
Anyway, UTG flats, everyone else folds. I flop bottom two. J-8-4 rainbow or something like that.
I bet small, get min-raised.
Turn is an A.
I check, V bets like $10. I call. River is ... I can’t remember. Not a broadway cars and doesn’t complete a strait or flush.
I check. V tanks for a minute and bets $100 into like a $30 pot. Looks like a really bad bluff attempt to me, so I make the call. He shows, and I swear I think he shows J-8. I instamuck.
Only at that point do I realize he’s actually got J-3, for one pair no kicker.
Ouch.
