D-Bag @ Tampa Hard Rock

I'm interested in getting others opinions on this subject. I am at the Tampa Hard Rock the other day and there is a regular at my table behaving like a total douche. I'm at a $2/$4 Omaha H/L table with a $5 kill. This jackass consistently raises out of turn (he should know better, he's a regular). One time I flopped middle set and he was so anxious to get his low-hand re-raise in that the initial bettor re-re-raised him before I even called the original bet. I mucked my cards feeling that one of them had top set (she did). So right there he lost a bet from me. Also, he played several hands with 3 cards down and 1 card exposed. He was running bad as well and got so pissed on one hand that he literally threw his cards at the dealer. I really wanted this guy off the table but no one else seemed to care. What would you guys do? I don't want to be the guy that slows down the action by asking for the floor but he was really out of line I feel.

What is their rule on exposing cards??

Many rooms allow the other players to demand to see all of his other cards if you ask.........and in some cases his hand is automatically dead for exposing a card.

PLEASE DO NOT TAP ON THE FISH TANK!

Let him play how he wants to play.

As far as I know, they have no official rule against exposing cards. But if they see it, they will inform you that it is unethical and to not do it and if you continue to do it and they see it they will ask you to leave.

[/ QUOTE ]He's not really a bad player though. His actions at the table just seemed inappropriate and he was making me uncomfortable and therefore I am sure others at the table were uncomfortable as well (including the dealer.)

If he bets out of turn, exposes a single card often and goes on tilt easily during a losing streak, he is certainly not a good player....

"he's a regular" .... so can I assume he doesn't normally act this way?

One time I accidentally exposed 3 of my cards at Omaha at the Hard Rock, and I still scooped a big pot with someone betting into me on the river.

I've played at tables with him before and he was fine. He doesn't drink, so that's not it. I know I can ask for a brush to move to another table, but at the time it was the only Omaha table going.

He was either on "Oh-ate tilt" or "Life tilt", it seems. May not have even realized he was acting that way.

So, not a "d-bag".

I might have tried to verbally nudge him to make him see how he was acting.
