Rules Question
Guy calls shove, and I have JT, on QJ8T8 board. I say (jokingly because I figure I'm beat and was hoping to fold out opponent's Qx hand) "I have 3 pair." Villain says, it's good I just have a queen. Dealer measures out opponents chips to make sure he had enough to call me, clearly about to give the pot to me. The dealer puts the vill's hand in the muck, when another guy at the table says.. "No, he's got Q's and 8's." Villain goes, "Oh my god, i didn't see that, woah, I'm really sorry man." and dealer begins to ship pot to Villain... I ask "but his cards are in the muck, doesn't that mean his hand is dead?" Dealer replies "No, i called it." I know that cards speak in nearly every poker room but should I have called the floor over?
I have very little live experience, and I didn't think of asking for it until later, but it's been gnawing on me a little as it was a good sized pot.
