"He can't have two seats"

RR · #1 07-08-2007, 06:47 PM

Last night I get called over to a 7 handed dealer's choice game (populated by mostly Omaha/8 players). There is an eighth stack of chips there. I get there and simultaneously 4 people are telling me this guy can't have this seat locked up because he is in the tournament. I point out the two other empty seats (they spread this game 10 handed here) and tell the players there are two empty seats, I will pick up the chips if I need the seat. Their "leader" tells me that's not the point, a player isn't allowed to have chips on a live table when they are in the tournament. I tell him I'm not picking up the player and leave scratching my head.

Well played.

Their complaint seems very stupid. I do wonder why people leave their chips at a table if they wont be coming back for more than 20 minutes. My guess is these guys wanted the rake reduction of playing less than 7 handed.

My guess is they are standard O8 nits who 1. Like to complain 2. Are hypertechnical about rules and 3. Don't like playing shorthanded. Anytime you guys want to see the crabbiest, most depressing people around, play B&M O8 against senior citizens.

The exact thought process is: "There's a rule against that, dammit!"

Common sense isn't.

lol. I enjoy 0/8 in casinos. It's amusing. Whenever I'm stuck on the list and my friends are around, I joke that someone needs to die so I can get in the game (there are other ones, early bird specials, nap, diaper change). I'm starting to be afraid that one day this will come true.

The game is amusing. Last time I was at the Taj playing, I couldn't understand a word the guy next to me was saying. There was a husband wife in the 9/10 seats. Husband wins a pot w/o being called. Flashes the table his hand. Guy in seat 1 couldn't see it. 'Show one, Show all' no big deal, really. The wife eventually hears/understansds this and tables the hand. Guy kept complaining for the next 3 orbits. It's typically complaining for the sake of it.

I didn't renew my liscence with Mr Capone so I had to settle for posting about it here so I could have a good laugh whenever I come into the poker office to read 2+2.
