What if someone flips the table?

[Sir Folds A Lot]

Oh yeah, it, or something like that has happened a few times at my home game. It is usually some drunk rail bird who gets in a fight because he popped of to a person still in the game and a fight ensues. Most players first reaction is to get their chips. After a round of arse beating on the jerk who started it, most people can vouch for each person's pile with a few left overs to be played for high card. I've also seen a drunk fall into the table, and a table break because someone was leaning on it. Dang, I need to start not allowing tequila at my home games.

Whiskey seems to work well. Plenty of loose action without all that chest-puffing aggro tiny-dick bullsht.

Really such an unlikely scenario that I doubt anyone would really be too concerned with your ruling in this case.

uummm.... yes. How many games have you been to where someone flipped the table?

I arrived once just after a table had been flipped. I went and checked into a hotel since I had traveled 5 hours to get there. It looked like it would take a while to clean up. At the time the flipee was an active player in the NHL (what kind of moron at a poker game flips over a table to start a fight with an NHL player).

Let's say we're playing a cash game, I'm the host, and someone loses a massive hand and flips the table because he's pissed. I've never seen this happen, but hypothetically, what is to be done about the player's chips?

Step 1. KITN and perma- ban offender.

Step 2. Line players up on one side of room. Ring bell. Free-for-all for the chips on the floor.

Step 3. Laugh ass off.

Step 4. Resume game.

Hope that helps. I believe this is the standard rule to be included in an upcoming edition of Robert's Rules.
