Home Game - Argument gets started

[Frelo]

I'd never play again with anyone who would bug me like this.

Review of the board ? Is this a joke ? They'd better have looked closely at the board during the game.

Unless you had table cams on your game, that's it. You won the hand, the hand is over, the game's over. They need to get over it.

I tried telling him , that for example in a tennis match , when a ball is out , you don't get to question the call 3 days later to say the ball really was in.

Let us say that I have now seen a friend in a whole new different light.
It's a shame.

I wouldn't touch her with a stick even when they gave ME money !

I don't see a straight on that board. Since everyone (including yourself) seems to be confused about exactly what each player held and what was on the board I'd let this one go.

A decision was made when all this information was easily verifiable. Second guessing it now is just going to make things work.

Just explain it to your friend like that and move along.

I think at this point, you are all confused and should just trust that the proper decision was made when all the information was clearly in front of you.

I could not stop laughing at this.

As far as buying the wife in next time, I most likely would if you wanted them to shut up and play again. If you don't care about the complaining or them playing in the future, then don't worry about it. Of course that's just what I would do.

Additionally, if I did spot her a buy-in I would make a comment that it was just to ensure that there was no bad blood. If you think the pot was pushed to you correctly, I wouldn't back down from that.

the fact that they called you and tried to get the money back shows that they had an argument about it and see you in a different light now too.

IMHO, give her back the $10, and never invite them to play poker again, it's pretty simple. I've had similar situations in home games, if someone is going to get butthurt about a $10 buyin and protest it after the fact they're not the kind of people you want to gamble with. It doesn't mean you can't be friends, in fact I think doing this and never playing poker with them is about the only way to save the friendship.

This is a tough spot because to give the $10 back would be somewhat admitting that they are right, so what I would do is say listen, that's not how poker works, you can't protest a result days later, but since you are still learning and new to the game, here's your $10 back, and I'd prefer if you didn't bring the big bleeding vagina to future games.


It's sad and disgusting how money effects certain people, but that's reality. Some people just can't play poker for money without pulling something like this, or holding a grudge, or something worse like trying to cheat next time.

Argh, this thread put me on lifetilt both from the unbelievably lame friends and lying OP. Please ban both OP and his friends, I hate them all thx!

Oh yeah, give them the money back but don't invite them to any more games.
