My issue here that I'm a little fuzzy with was whether Hispanic Guy was out of line or not.

I haven't read the other replies yet, but I laughed when I read this. Seriously? Of course he's out of line -- never touch another player's cards. The result was what should/would have happened anyway (if the New Guy didn't show his cards, the floor would have to pick them up and do it for him).

Hahahaha, beauty.

I warn people not to think that IWTSTH necessarily keeps a hand live, nor that the flush would have won if it had grazed the muck. All rooms are different. I think if I mentioned the "IWTSTH by winner keeps hands live" bit to anyone in my room, I'd get stared at as if I had given them differential equations to work out in their heads. (Tho' now that I think about it, saying "differential equation" would elicit similar reactions.)

Mmm cards look pretty muck dead chomp chomp.

This story would have been sooooo much better if the Hispanic guy wouldn't have touched the cards and the floor came over and after a minute of explaining the rule, the hand was turned over at the insistance of the regular. Still a great story and nice result.

Any chance the new guy was slow rolling with what he knew to be a winner? That seems like an appropriate response to the dickish IWTSTH move by the regular.

Re: IWTSTH drama, misreads - warning: long no moral to story
 

yeah, but slowrolling is never really appropriate. Especially if this is causing the whole game to come to a complete hault.

No, we was serious about trying to get his his hand in the muck. He was so caught up in his two pair I guess he wasn't looking for it.
