Surprising pai gow tiles hand

Quote: JB

That happened to me at Palace Station a few years ago. It backfired because the dealer ended up with 6/9 where the 9 was made from 5 & H4. Fortunately, I was the only player at the table, so I only got an earful from the dealer (and actually he was rather pleasant about it). I kind of like situations like this because it makes it look like you don't know what you're doing, which might earn you extra comps if the pit boss is watching.

I don't think I have ever had 4/9 with Teen-Day-High 8-11 backfire on me. I recall one hand at the MGM where I played 4/9 and the dealer flipped over high 7-low 7-low 4-5, which was a welcome sight.
