Fight over ante in MTT

betgo · #1 11-02-2007, 11:21 PM

Live $1500 MTT. First level of antes. I toss in a 25 ante chip. I am in seat 8 and a significant distance from the betting circle. The chip bounces so it is in front of seat 10.

I don't see seat 10 put in a chip. Dealer says there is an ante missing. Everyone in the area says they anted, except seat 10, who says the chip is in front of him.

The floor is called. Seat 10 continues to repeat that the chip is in front of him. I repeat that I anted. The dealer seems to imply that I am wrong. The floor doesn't say anything. After a couple of minutes of this, I throw in another ante chip.

After the floor leaves, seat 10 says to me that it serves me right for tossing the chip. This gets me angry and I call him a cheater and ask if that is how he got that WSOP bracelets.

A few hands later, I purposely toss in an ante chip loosely, as I am annoyed. Seat 10 says I am tossing in a chip again. I am incenced that he is pretty much admitting he purposely didn't ante. I call him a pr_ and some other things. The floor is called and I get a 20 minute penalty.

In retrospect, I guess seat 10 was annoyed that I was tossing rather than placing the ante chips. I had never seen someone try to get out of putting in an ante chip before. Thought the story might be slightly interesting and entertaining.

Cripple? Can't reach over and move the chip back?

All poker is a struggle for the antes.

I'd like to hear other sides of the story before passing judgement to be fair. I remember how much your story differed to someone else's about the FT of a $1k tourney in AC before.

That [censored] sucks though, if this guy was just being a total longboy for the sake of it.

Don't splash the pot. You seem to be doing everything in your power to slow down the tournament as much as possible. Sure, the guy's a jerk, but why can't you just put your ante in front of you so that the dealer and quickly and easily move the game along?

Was this your first time playing live? Or maybe you've never dealt a tournament in a home game or something? Keeping antes in front of you is standard.
