wtf @ the Borgata??

[The B]

I was sitting beside a typical New Jersey grinder, he knew all the dealers and the one at our table he played w/ in home games outside of Atl City....we talked about poker, girls, and life...both being friendly, but i was still focused on playing good poker..... after 2 hrs of play, he started showing me his hands

He'd show me a bluff when he'd check-raise w/j high, etc, etc

Then he raised 5x the BB UTG (I'm sitting to his right and last to act)....as the table folds, he shows me his 9/9

it gets to me and i shove with QQ.....since i've seen his hand (that he willingly showed me) he goes into the tank and says your trying to get me to fold...you have AK

finally this jackass calls....flops the 9 and felts me


should I have flat called and make sure he doesnt flop a set or play an all-in pot as a 7:1 favorite???

interesting dynamic there, personally i would have told him to stop showing me his cards at the first instance if im really trying to "play good poker."

glad u had such a good rapport with the man before u tried to stack him. also nice pf read

Where do you get 7:1 favorite?

[BarryLyndon]

You're saying that your buddy showed you his hand before you were to act and then you shoved QQ. For how much? Didn't anyone at the table notice that he showed you his hand and now you are pushing? Isn't it illegal to show a person a hand before he is to act? Then, you got his $$ in and he sux and he called and you're upset that you got it all in as an 80/20 favorite? And where does 7:1 come in? NNEEEEH HUUUUH NNNNEEEEH HUUUUH eeeh huuuh this post sux.

Very interesting

You think the guy would FOLD rather than suspect a 15th level bluff lol

I'm pretty sure he cheated.

He knew the dealers. He gets 99 and shows you. You have QQ so naturally you shove, he 'tanks' and flops the 9. hmm....

[JKratzer]

if you're feeling nice tell him to stop showing you his cards when you're in the pot. if you guys have decent sized stacks i'd call pf w/ any two in this spot. post flop should be pretty easy.

that was my thinking (and still is).....I didn't include that in the original post because I knew I would sound like the typical "I took a bad beat, now I'm claiming cheating was involved" guy

realllll sketchy....

[Suigin406]

strange case, for sure he can't show u his cards, but the rules are iffy on what you should be doing, i'm not totally sure that ur without fault here either...
