Sure, it's d1ck move, but an underage gambler is doing
something illegal and taking my money at the same time...
why should I feel bad?

You are a tool. You should not only feel bad, you should know that you are a scumbag. If you don't want the underage person playing at your table because you know that you suck and they are much better than you, then have their IDs checked immediately. You don't wait until you win a big pot. If I was the floor, I would give the young man the pot and tell him to cash out -- then I would kick you in the nuts.

You're the tool. I never said I wouldn't let him keep the pot. Where is that in my post? Why don't you rethink who you're calling a scumbag and develop better reading skills.

The replies here indicate big problem in public cardrooms; how are these underaged plyers getting seated in the game? Part of te floor staff's job (brushes, floormen and ANYONE else that might seat a player) is to check IDs of anyone that is close in age. I do think that anyone that seats an underage player without checking an ID should be dealt with severly.

Anyone who would call out an underage kid in order to gain his own advantage in his hand deserves to be banned from poker for life.

Seriously. That's awful.

I can very, very, very vaguely understand having some minor amount of moral indignation about underage gambling or something. But if you have a problem, tell the kid first, give him a chance to get up, and, if you absolutely have to be a GIANT DICK at least do it in between hands.

I dont think that i would ever do this to someone playing, but I would like to see it happen once. Im definately one of those players that when im hitting [censored] cards i love to see drama in the cardroom and people getting carried out for once reason or another. Its entertaining and aside from a few ppl that i meet while playing, i couldnt give a [censored] what happens to everyone else in the cardroom

that if I'm in a big pot with him and lose, I'll call the floor over to check his ID before letting the dealer push him the pot.

Default It happened at Commerce

Everyone has to show ID for a jackpot. I wasn't at the table but observed and heard the following buzz. Turned out that both the winner and loser were WAY underage (18!!!! and 20) They lost their shares - the table stakes were still paid out. LOL.
