    First off, I don't tilt! I'm the type of guy that shrugs his shoulders after losing with AA v KK. But this hand was quite hard to forget about....

    My local card room here in Florida was having a little series of tourneys and the buy-in is $340, first place is $10k. Level 1 and the live over-betting "this much" donks are roaring and my table just so happens to have 4-5 of them!! I'm drooling to hit a big hand and get paid off, plus I'm a sucker for limping in Level 1 live tourneys :)

    So I'm UTG+1 and limp for 50 with the ol' 4c6c (sometimes I limp, raise or fold this, but the table seemed friendly so I limp).

    Flop 7s5c3c-- Trying to continue my conversation I do my normal table tap to see the aggressive lady bet 200, I call to bring in the two limpers behind me, only 1 obliges.

    Turn Jc-- so I've hit my flush but I'm first to act, I see way too many people in live tourneys give credit to flushes so I check and sadly see both players check behind.

    River 2c-- well well, a four card flush board and I've got the nuts.... the table is still chatty and I figure the ol' one chip toss (500) might get called by the 9-Jc and the Ac has to raise

    first guy folds rather quickly, but the lady checks her cards (see's the Ac, obviously) and tosses a yellow chip (1k) into the middle but waits to say "Raise" until after the chip has hit the felt!

    All those times I've loved the 'one over-sized chip' rule are erased by this hand :/

    P.S- an example of how big pots were at this table, one guy regularly opened for 5k starting at the 50/100 level! one hand, he folded to an all-in for ~10k total (5k raise).... I kept saying, "How did I not get paid off on my straight flush?"

    Did you forget to mention the lady had Ac and meant to raise and then you would have won all the chips, or are you just a superstar?

    In live poker, there is a rule that if you don't say anything, and you bet 1 chip that is over the amount bet, you are just calling. In this spot, he bet 500, and she silently threw in 1 1k chip. This is a call. After throwing it in, she said raise, but said it too late. Had she thrown in 2 500 chips, it would have been a raise.

    So, she meant to raise, and lucked out that she screwed up.
