Every time I sit down at the poker table.
I honestly can't remember a really embarrassing moment at the poker table, but there was one time after a poker tournament, I had a $10 chip in my pocket, so I decided to just use it on a table game. I can't even remember what I "played," but I wanted to use this chip and just try something. So, I sat down at a table and put my $10 chip on the table and the dealer dealt the cards. There were 2 older guys to my left and one of them (probably drunk at 4pm) looked at me and looked at my shirt (I was wearing my Pro Wrestling training center shirt) and the first thing he said to me was "Wrestling? You don't look like a wrestler." And that just threw me off for a moment because I was trying to focus on the hand that was being dealt and had no idea what was going on. And I just gave the dude a side eye and the dealer was like "What do you want to do?" And I froze and I was like "uhh.. I dunno." And the drunk player goes, "Just toss your chip to him." I was like "Whatever." And just got up and left. I was so confused and thrown off. This was around 2017, I think right after I was knocked out in 19th place at the Heartland Poker Tour (Top 13 paid out) with my KK losing to QJ.
Wait, I do have an embarrassing poker story. For one, I'll say that I'm glad that I learned the craft in bar poker back in the late 2000's right after the poker boom with a decent group of people. That probably saved me a lot of potential embarrassing moments at the casino lol.
There was once in a game where 2 players were in the pot and I had folded pre-flop. The aggressor was across my table who bet post flop and the person next to me called. Turn comes, aggressor bets, and the person next to me calls again. River comes out, aggressor bets small. Person next to me reraises, and the aggressor thinks about it, and reraises a lot bigger. The person next to me folds. There were no straight or flush possibilities out there, and I was trying to figure out what they had and there was a lot of talk at the table. So when they mucked and the next dealer was being slow, I was like "What did you have?" And I picked up their cards and flipped them over, which everyone knows is a big no-no. And they just stopped and looked at me and said, "Don't do that. You can't flip another player's cards over." I felt so dumb, because I was caught up in the moment and knew I shouldn't have done that. And of course, I never did again. This was all the way back in 2008.
They had Pocket 3's btw, and no 3 was out there, so I was still confused by all the calling lol. But you know.. bar poker.
