Re: Quick foxwoods dealer venting
[ QUOTE ]
Well, let's not forget that the guy who didn't want to show was keeping magical information secret. Surely had he shown first, the fabric of space and time would have started to crumble and we'd all be left weeping in the dark. Thank goodness OP was there to prevent this! Sorry, these silly showdown standoffs just make me laugh. Regardless of who shows first, it's generally widely accepted everywhere that if you think you have a winner, table the darn thing. You're not as good or special as you think you are. Everybody else wants to move on to the next hand. [/ QUOTE ] Funny you mention this because a near identical situation occured Saturday in my limit game. A annoying guy bet and I called him with Q high. He refused to show his hand ( [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] )so I showed him the Queen. He wouldn't muck his hand until I showed him my other card. 5 min later he bets another river and gets called, the caller immediately turned over his middle pair. the idiot stares at the caller's hand for a full 2 min and won't show or muck his own cards. I asked the dealer if we can start calling clocks on people when the betting is over.

Re: Quick foxwoods dealer venting
Again, WHY DO YOU GIVE A [censored]!
MYOFB is the rule of thumb here. Stay out of other peoples pots. And you weren't right, so stop saying you are just because the floor said so on a bad call. The fact you left the table to seek out the floor after old lady pwned you is [censored] laughable. LAUGHABLE!

Re: Quick foxwoods dealer venting
When a new round of betting occurs, all previous rounds of betting are "erased from memory" and that money is just tossed in the pot.
This is why the player first to act on the river always shows first if it goes check/check... Now if she had raised all-in on the turn and all action was closed until showdown, then she would show first. There were no more betting rounds.

[/ QUOTE ] yeah i understand this now, before i didnt. however this is not true at all poker rooms, live and online. full tilt is the opposite and last aggressor shows hand first if it is called and checked through any other streets regardless of position. and many have said here that the borgata is the same way as well.

Re: Quick foxwoods dealer venting
In this situation I would just flip my cards for a few reasons:
Its 1/2 NL at foxwoods! players arent paying attention to your image anyways so who cares? ( I see this game of chicken about who should show etc all the time)If you have absoute junk it doesnt really matter IMO. Arguing about this stuff at the table just makes you look nitty. I always try to give off a care free attitude while playing dont want to piss off the fish IMO. I know there are rules as to who has to show first for a reason and you shouldnt have to show if you dont want to but when its just c/c on the river its just way to nitty to not just flip them in a fishy game like 1/2 NL IMO.

Re: Quick foxwoods dealer venting
Yeah mm. It is good sometimes to show your hand and speed the game up. But if you are up against an angle-shooter, sometimes you have to get tough about the rules.

You're missing the key point.
