They held her CAPTIVE??? So there were so many of them, and their hands and arms were so strong that she couldn't stand up, or move her chair back? Something doesn't sound right about that, now does it?

Rail revelry happens in about every poker tournament ever. While it's not exactly the most polite thing in the world, it isn't unexpected and certainly isn't some major breach of conduct that it's being made out to be. I've railed and been railed deep in WSOP events, and whenever someone had a problem with it, they took the appropriate action and either stood up for themselves and asked the railers to keep it down, or called over a floor and had them deal with it.

In a perfect world, there would be no obnoxious railers, demeaning table talk, or loud celebrations, but without all that negative stuff (and the "characters" it creates), I feel that the popularity of poker would decline (as would all of our incomes).

Male or female (the outgoing player), it's just not right what happened here.

Comments?

you clearly only give a [censored] because she is a female (esp. given your posting history). as far as further comments are concerned, I think you are a horrible poster who adds nothing to this forum and you should just stop posting in general (whether females or males are concerned).

well I'm sure she was able to wait for them to calm down after their celebration of her demise and then get up from the table. It would really suck to be in her shoes. It always sucks when drunk idiots sweat the rail. They think it is their right to be obnoxious and loud giving zero respect to the game or its participants. Given that these "fans" give nothing to the players, it seems reasonable to allow their ejection. Casinos are supposed to offer a fun friendly environment in which to lose your money. Why is it different at the poker table where people can actually root for, and celebrate your bad luck?

I'm not a he-man woman-hater like most of this forum seems to be; but I don't think this post would exist if this incident had happened to a man.

Actually it would.

Like I said in my original post, male or female (the outgoing player) it was just plain wrong.

While Kevin couldn't control his friends, IMO, what he did wrong was not saying a thing to them (or appologizing on their behalf since the only reason they were there was to support him), and letting the actions of his crew continue.

Where Kevin went wrong IMO, was that he didn't stand up for the busted out player, thus in effect condoning his crew's actions.

Also, too many ppl get drunk, and then use that as an excuse for their bad actions, simply because society gives them a 'pass' as soon as they hear they are drunk.

Perhaps if that pass was taken away, ppl might be more responsible in both their drinking and their actions.

lol, no it wouldn't. given your other posts, I'm pretty confident in this.

OOOOOOOMBERRTTTTOOO

also, in the main event i was slowrolled aipf w/ kk v aa in the last level of day 1d by a guy i had played with for 12 hours and with whom id had no prior confrontations.

he then tried to shake my hand maybe after it was obvious the table thought he was a douche after his faux pas. i just stared at it and said "are you fking serious?" and he asked if i was a sore loser. instead of diving across the table and viscously removing his head with my keys as i was envisioning, i just said wow pretty much, wished my homies at the table good luck, and left to punt my gatorade down the hallway and harass my cabbie with bad beat stories.

unfortunately it is safer to assume a random player at your table is an enormous douche than it is to assume they are a nice person with class.

I was there, and the situation was described accurately. the rail was approx 2 feet away from maria's chair (the 3 seat i think), and 3 drunk guys were barging over the rail boundary like it was a mosh pit at a concert. 10 more were behind them jumping and screaming as loud as possible. One douche in particular kept yelling drunk for 5 minutes after the hand was over.

You make valid points, but you just had to be there. It was the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen live or on TV in regards to poker.
