poor etiquette, dealer's an idiot or that guy's an idiot? - Page 2

In this case the dealer is a bad judge of what is good etiquette. If someone asks one of my dealers if they can do something and the dealer tells them it is in poor taste to do so and they chose to do it anyway I will be showing them to the door because poker is a game played by ladies and gentlemen.

I understand it wasn't a tournament (just saying in some areas of poker it is not allowed....that must tell us something about the move)....and I understand you didn't move from your seat (that was a side rant)....
IMO...you took a shot. Period. Etiquette, Shmeitiqutte. You took advantage of the "technically I'm right rule". If you were so sure you would not have posted this in the first place.
Do you want to hear you are technically right? OK, you are technically right. Still not appreciated by most players.

It's not like u were slowrolling AJs and flopped a royal. If it's not against house rules to attempt to help yourself to get on an edge on your two opponents, i would've done the same thing.

I'm being out numbered by players who want to show their cards before the action is completed. I feel like I am in poker hell (aka Tunica, MS)!

You guys have beat me down....I will start showing my cards whenever I can!

I'm not sure I follow that one Randy? It seems that you made one point and then contradicted it. Or it could be my belly is full from a good lunch and I'm having a post-appetite moment? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

exactly what i was thinking about RR's post. didn't know who you meant to be in the wrong. starts one way, ends another.

This last statement is so patently untrue that I couldn't let it stand without commentary. Poker is a game played by people with money, nothing else. If you are escorting people from your casino for poor taste I imagine you must get really lonely.

OP, it does seem an odd thing to do in what was presumably an auto-call situation. Are you seriously telling us that there was some potential tell that would have made you lay it down?

orange parrott · #19 10-01-2007, 05:10 PM

in the end, i'm probably making this call anyway. just a sick spot (for me maybe cuz i'm a nit like that). button more or less insta-pushed over UTG's push. i was hoping to get some response from the button alone as i knew i was way ahead of UTG from the previous four hours play.

You are undoubetdly one of those ogres I find in poker rooms who think that you can use foul language and pick your toes at the table.
