Default Re: How do you handle this one? (Bad conduct and worse conduct)

FCBLComish,

I don't mean this as an attack on you, but I understood the situation and I still say since you weren't in the hand, you should keep your mouth shut. It's not your place to call out someone on a rules violation... it's the other two active players and the dealers responsibility. If none of them want to, then it is what it is.

I had a hand not too long ago in a 1-2 $60 NL game where I was heads up with another player after the turn. I had a boat and knew the hand was mine, so I tried putting the othe guy all-in. I could count his red chips from where I was at, but what I now know is he had a few blue chips hidden away. I bet what I thought was putting him all-in, which he called. After the river, I immediately flipped over my cards, not knowing the guy still had $3 in front of him. The pot was like $230, so a pretty nice pot for this limits.

Once I realized the guy wasn't all-in, I apologized, to which the guy didn't have a complaint and said he was happy that he saved $3 on the hand. While the pot was being pushed to me, someone who wasn't in the hand starts telling the dealer that I should lose because I exposed my hand. Now, this was heads up so technically I didn't do anything to break the rules, but had this jackass had his way, it would have went to a floor ruling, and who knows what they would have ruled.

As I said before, I'm not a violent person at all. I'm very calm mannered and get alone with pretty much anyone from every walk of life. Had I for some reason lost that hand because that guy who wasn't in the hand said something, I would have got up, punched the [censored] out of him and headed on out the casino (to help out security of course).

In conclusion, my point is, if you're not in the hand, keep your mouth shut.
