... I call the floor and it is ruled that she did not muck and her hand holds up. To me this is the completly wrong decision as she made a verbal and physical indication of conceding the hand, it also helped her that 4 or 5 of her friends were at the table and disputed what myself and the other guy with the straight said. Is this the correct ruling of am I an angleshooting douche?

The bottom line here is that the dealer should muck her hand as soon as she discards it. Once that didn't happen, the dealer must step forward to describe to the Floor what happened. You don't say here what the dealer said, however, that should have discounted completely what the 4 or 5 friends were trying to do/say. If the player also lied about what happened, the Floor should have given her a warning and told her that she was not tio be believed in any future disputes.
If I am the Floor, I award you the pot (as he admitted he should have done) and I escort the 4 or 5 friends out of the casino. They not only violated the one player to a hand rule - but they then lied about it.

You my friend will not have many poker games if every time you make a ruling you throw out the people who disagree with you about what happened. When people tell different versions of an event it often isn't because they are lying, but because they have differnt perceptions.
