[b]Bad Push[/b]

This happened when I was fairly new to live play.  In fact I was fairly new to poker all together.  I had a friend who played often.  On occasion he would take me to our local brick and mortar and he would pay my buy in.  If I won then I would give him a percentage of my winnings.  I was sitting at a 1-1 No Limit table. I had just sat down.  I do not remember the exacts of the hand, but I do remember enough.  I had a pocket pair.  If memory serves me right , "Fish Hooks." I hit a set on the flop.  Betting ensued and by the time we were at the turn I remember the board was starting to flush.  I pushed all in.  I was called.  The pot was monster.

The river brought a 4th flush card.  Dude turned over the Ace for the runner-runner flush.  When I saw his Ace for the flush I was soooo mentally broken and destroyed.  I turned my hand over.  The dealer started pushing the chips towards the guy with the flush.  Then out of nowhere my friend who bankrolled me came walking by.  He looked at the table, and then he looked at me and said, "Nice full house."

I was so upset at the board going runner-runner on my set that I failed to see the last flush card paired the board.  I jumped out of my seat for joy and exclaimed, "Ya I have a boat!"  I immediately started reaching for the chips that the dealer was pushing to my mute opponent.

No body at the table said a word as the dealer pushed the chips to the wrong person.  If it weren't for the serendipitous timing of my friend the villain would have made off with my entire stack just a few hands into my session.  Nobody at the table had any clue the guy who walked by and pointed out that I had the winner was my friend.  The look on my opponent's face was priceless.

To this day I am still convinced that a small amount of my chips were already stacked before I was told I won the hand, but I learned my lesson.  When it comes right down to it I am responsible for reading my hand, but shame on that dealer.
