Re: Home game ruling - was this guy a douche?

Adolph and it isn't close. It was at showdown and he tabled his hand. If Adolph had tossed the cards face down, yeah, he gave up. But the cards were presented face up, and Adolph was just expressing exasperation and lack of confidence in his holding by saying "take it" while not actually giving up by mucking.

What if he had said "I fold"?

Before or after he called? If before he called then he loses the pot, but his last "call" doiesn't go in the pot. If After he cvalled, he can't fold -- there ios no more betting they are at showdown. Saying I fold is meaningless if you table your hand (if you announce you fold or that say "You Win" and your opponent mucks his cards you lose the pot . . . but in this casae the opponent showed his cards)
