So last night I was playing poker.

1-2 game

ill save you the details, the board consists of Q-9-9-4-6.

There's already $210 in the pot. On the river, I was facing a 140$ bet.

I have 8D9D I was tanking and counting my chips on top of my cards " Like actually on top of them. The dealer reached over as i was going back to grab more pulled my cards from under my chips and mucked my hand. By the time I said anything they were already in the muck Fast, The dealer then said OMG What did i just do. I dont know why i did that.

What happens normally here. As I was protecting my cards, My cards hit the muck.

Now i was not at a formal casino, So the house paid me half the pot and made the dealer pay me the other half.

But at a casino/Poker room whats normal Policy?
