I was referred to this site as having expertise with my particular problem as well as a concierge service known as Ask Answer Man. Here is my problem:
I'm currently playing in a Texas Hold 'em game with some friends. I've been doing well but this hand really has me stumped. I hold a suited 9-8. Remarkably, six players stayed with a $10 big blind and a $20 raise. The flop was Q-10-5. The queen and ten were hearts, the same as my 9 and 8. Betting was quite heavy and when the dust settled there were four players still in, and the pot was well over $1,000. The turn yielded a jack of hearts. Needless to say, my heart was pounding. After betting, the pot was pushed to $10k. The river was the king of hearts. There are two of us left.
Now, through the course of the game, I was able to mark each ace on the back and I know that my opponent, let's call him Fred, holds an ace. Silly me, but I didn't mark the suit. So it is possible he holds a royal flush to my straight flush.
Here is where it gets complicated. I've been dating Fred's daughter. I just learned she is pregnant. Without this pot there's no way I can support a wife. However, I know she would like a nice wedding which would be impossible if her dad loses the hand.
I faked an epileptic seizure and a medical response team has come to take me to the hospital. Everyone has agreed to keep the hand alive until either I die or return. (I'm currently sending this from my iPhone in the ambulance.) What should I do?

Unfortunately, this answer is less about poker and more about your horrible character flaws, anonymous poker man. First and foremost supporting your girlfriend and future child by cheating in a high stakes poker game with friends and potential your future father-in-law is evidence enough that your child is screwed.
Also, faking a seizure to tie up hospital resources and personnel, not to mention that you are paying a $1,000 a year for your iphone even though you are tight on cash and a child coming illustrates that you will make a terrible father figure, which doesn't matter much because eventually you will get a bullet wild west style for marking cards.
