What the dumbest play you've witnessed that worked?

opps. I sent by accident the first reply.

Hard Rock, Deuces, a guy had a quad with 3 of them Deuces. I advised him to
hold only the deuces. He looked at my shoes then held the quad.

My sister playing JOB at Hollywood in Tunica. She would get a hand
full of junk & hold a random card (7 of hearts) & then fill it for
the quad. Or a hold a King & random card & fill it. I finally gave
up trying to "educate" her.

My brother in law (yes, married to that sister) a few weekends ago at
Harrah's Cherokee. Was playing Dueces Wild & kept holding high cards
without pairs. Didn't say a word.

At the Palms on Saturday night, a guy was trying to
feed coins into a bill acceptor. I thought he was
going to short circuit it or screw it up. He asked me
for help but I told him that I always use paper money.
He gave me a look like "well I wish I could afford
paper money but all I have are these coins". He
finally left after about ten minutes of trying to put
in coins and constantly dropping them on the floor.

Hi Bill,.

You had me laughing out loud at this one!

You might have encountered the same raggedy looking guy that I saw at
the EC. He had evidently inserted a $5 instead of $1, and, upon
discovering his mistake, kept a firm hold on the end of the bill,
while shrieking for a slot person to come help him retrieve the bill.

Apparently, he didn't realize that he could cash out the 5 bucks, w/o
playing a hand, after inserting the bill.

I briefly considered advising him of this, but thought better of it
when he began shouting for help.

If you play in LV casinos enough, you see most everything!

Babe,

Must be my improv training with Second City. I guess
I need to stick to comedy writing instead of improv.

I sat next to a woman playing $1 5 Play 8/5 Bonus Poker. When dealt no
high cards she held a lone 10. I couldn't help myself and ask "why do
you do that"? She replied that she ALWAYS holds a card if it'll
complete a royal flush. You'd think someone playing that kind of
action would have a clue? I've also seen people throwing away deuces,
preferring a high pair when playing a deuces game.

At a California casino I have watched many people playing $5 DDB who hold as
many honor cards as they can. AKJ offsuit, AQ offsuit, you name it. One
woman never saw a suited AT that she didn't fall in love with. I try to
appear sympathetic when they moan and groan about all the money they shovel
into the machine since the last time they hit the Aces. Actually I'm very
happy, since their poor play ensures that the machines are profitable for
the casino.
