What ever happened to good manners and Class in poker?
I'm left wondering after what happened last night to Maria Ho (the last woman left at the time in the ME) when she busted out, what ever happened to good manners and the class acts in poker?
http://www.pokernews.com/live-report...it-holdem/day5 [ QUOTE ] The Rail Closes in When Maria Ho busted, needless to say she was disappointed. To add insult to injury, Kevin Farry's supporters are two-deep on the rail and are extremely intoxicated. When the river card fell, they screamed *very* loudly and leant all the way over the ropes to high-five Farry. The rail is very close to the table and Farry is in the 5 seat, however Maria is in the 4 seat and was unable to stand up due to the arms hanging over her head, holding her captive. Scenes of joyous celebration are nothing new in poker, however what we just witnessed showed a total disregard for the player whose tournament life has just come to an end, and a complete lack of respect for the great game we all love. [/ QUOTE ] Male or female (the outgoing player), it's just not right what happened here. IMO, Kevin Farry's supporters were out of line, and Kevin Farry should of said so (in other words, mentioned something to his supporters) at the time as well. Comments? |

I realize he might not be able to control them, but at the very least he could of said something to his "crew" like:
"Dudes, I appreciate your support, but you need to give Maria some space here, and not be obnoxious here to her" or something to that effect. In other words, IMO, Kevin should of chastised them for how they acted, yet he said nothing. Total lack of class and respect if you ask me. |

When I opened this I thought guys yelled "haha no more b*tches left! hahaa!" or something.
This is nothing. Just some overzealous drunk guys. I'm sure they didn't intend harm on a Ho |

You're right that it was unfortunate. You're unrealistic to expect anything different. Old days or new days, drunks are still drunks.

While not excusing the bad behavior of the drunks, the fault here seems to mostly fall on Rio security for not keeping enough space between the table and the crowd. If the report is accurate, they were too close.

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.
