Re: Home game ruling - was this guy a douche?
Agreed.
The main point here, Small Fry, is that a bet was made by the "mucker" and called, so betting is closed on the river. Therefore, the face-up cards are live regardless of where they land imo. The player has to work really, REALLY hard to fold them, cash game or tourney.
Now, if Adolf turns over the cards face-down and says "I fold", then you might have a kettle of worms to argue about, Small Fry. Face up, I could argue the verbal action supercedes, but I'd be look for a reason NOT to (I wouldn't look hard, but I'd probably confirm the fold and then muck the cards).
However, saying anything else, such as "I lose" or "You got it" or "blahlabhahaoha" doesn't kill Adolf's hand.
