Mucked Hand

[Rovers4eva]

I played in a small live tourney today at my local poker place. Basically I did the fishiest thing ever and I'm 99% sure I already know the answer, but I still want to put my mind at ease. :) Hand plays like this. I have 95os Blinds 150/300 Guy raises to 600 total, 2 callers, I call for 300 more. Flop 95Q Rainbow. I raise 2000, Guy raises all in. I call. He shows AAs, I show 95. Flop comes Q. I stupidly without thinking say nice hand and throw my cards in the muck. River comes 9. Chips go to him 'cos it's classed as mucked. :cry So, my question is: Is that correct? OR Does this rule apply where ever you would play? I mean everybody at the table saw what I had. We were both all in and we'd both flipped out cards over when we'd said all in. I guess rules are rules but it was a gutner. :wall

Re: Mucked Hand That is 100% correct wherever you play. Once the cards hit the muck then I'm afraid that's it. Simple solution though; never put your cards in the muck til the hand is finished, easy really. A lesson learnt the hard way I'd say. :ok
