I'm sitting at a live 9max table. All unknowns except for two players: to my right is Marc-Etienne McLaughlin (WSOP 2013), who seemed like a decent player. To my left is an older guy with glasses whom I've played with at 1/2 live. Pretty loose, sometimes misreads his hands. Not sure what stakes, but it seemed like mid-high.
It's folded around to McLaughlin, who raises standard. He'd been raising a lot from late positions. I'm on button and look down at KdKh, and make a smallish raise, a bit under 3x. Older guy calls in SB, and McLaughlin sighs and says something like "you've got the best hand" but calls anyway. Two unknowns who were apparently sitting between me and McLaughlin call. I'm confused and panicking a bit because I didn't realize they were there, not to mention in the hand. I'd have raised a lot more. Oh well, to the flop.
Flop is AsQc7c, 5 way. Checked around to me. I decide to bet about 40% pot for value/protection. Older guy calls, McLaughlin makes a comment about my sizing and calls. The two unknowns fold.
Turn is Ks, 3 way. I don't remember what I did, but it didn't seem important at the time. Let's say I checked.
River is Ah, 3 way. Older guy goes allin for around pot, McLaughlin thinks for a bit and calls. I shove for about a minraise, and McLaughlin calls. Older guy shows AJo, McLaughlin shows KdKh. Wait, isn't that my hand? I flip over my cards and see that I had A8o. What the hell?
The next hand begins. As I'm trying to explain what happened, I hear a knock on my door and my great-aunt telling me it's 2PM and I should get up. Sick beat.

I think it's pretty common to have poker dreams/"nightmares" where you flip up different cards than you thought you had at showdown. I've heard a few players at the table tell me they've had dreams like that semi-regularly. I can't recall having one though. |

I concur with this, although I only vaguely remember having one such dream myself. But I've dreamt with poker a few other times (thankfully not that many) |

Like hes ever closing the action preflop with KK vs 4 others. He obviously stole your cards when you werent paying attention. Even dream McLaughlin is awesome. No wonder hes McLaughin' |

I have had many poker dreams where this happened. I usually call out my hand out before tabling it as well. |
