Death At The Poker Table

December 30th, 2009

I have a quick question: What happens if, while playing poker, somebody dies at the table with an open hand?  Does that count as a fold?  Is the hand re-dealt?  Does anyone get to see the dead man’s cards, or do they go back into the deck face down?  What happens to the pot, and the dead man’s bets?

I’m sure Vegas has rules for such things, but I’ve never seem ‘em.

And, on a completely unrelated note, the brother-in-law hooked me up with a copy of Fallout 3 for Christmas, and I’ve been playing it nonstop ever since.  Sure, it’s not quite as expansive as Oblivion (which I loved to death and played through twice), but it’s one of these games that seems to pull you right in and sucks the life from your very marrow.  I find it difficult to put down.  I swear, I’ve only managed eight hours of sleep these past two nights.  I feel like a zombie but I’m dying for another fix of this accursed game.

It’s funny how these addictions seem to catch you when you’re most unprepared.  Heh…
