Over 2 dollars. there was a straddle, and the player before omc said call as he put out 2 dollars and omc raised to 35 before the chips hit the table. Omc calls floor over 2 bux and wastes 20 minutes of the tables lives, 10 players x 2 =20 minutes of our lives.

Omc says time doesnt matter, but the room closes at 12 pm and he goes home at 9, so it may not matter to him but it does to me.
/ Rant off...

Why don't you think it is the guy who wasn't paying attention to the action and was trying to save the $2 who cost the table that time? All he had to do was make his call square by putting in the extra $2.

Uh, yeah, that original OP exists here right above your first response. We see just fine.

Compensating for various inadequacies by presenting a physically imposing front. It's like buying a Hummer.

Probably, but I don't care unless they put them closer to me than them, which happens all too often now. That's why I enjoyed the accident so much, they're cluelessly stacking them next to each other as if they've never seen a stack fall over, then they're shocked when it happens LOL

It's great when someone recklessly builds a phallic tower of chips and has it topple over the betting line at exactly the right time to constitute a bet.

2. Players over 30 seem to like the hookers at the adjacent Hooker Bar that seem to show up late in their shifts. Perhaps they offer you low limit cheapskates a poker rate for their services.

3. You are one of the very few choosing to boycott the Venetian.

That was good. I liked this one too:

At showdown the villain asks to see omc's cards, dealer calls floor While OMC is steaming. Floor is telling V he can't see them this time, but the next time he can. Obviously ruling in favor of the regular, omc. While this happening omc stands up and scrambles the cards across the table. Now the V is up set asking the floor if this is acceptable with omc shouting in a 90yr old horse voice he'd do it again he then tells V
to **** off. The floor solution is to table change omc. Floor clarifies anyone in the hand at showdown can ask to see the cards.

It was amusing but the floor really disappointed me and is what made this memorable.

That reminds me of a certain site that did poker room reviews and one of the reviewers would consistently mention/rant about Fiji® Water in just about every review. Or rather, the lack thereof. They used to have Fiji® Water, and now they don't ("I can't believe they switched to Mountain Valley Spring®"). It used to be free but now they charge for it. I swear he gave an extra star in the review if the room had free Fiji® Water. This guy had so much consternation over the issue that you'd think the poker world was going to end.

Dude. It's. Effing. Water.

So last night im on a 1/2 and one young asian guy in sunglasses is running over the table, 1000 in front. Im card dead and win 1 hand for 75, otherwise just folding while he makes $$$.
He gets in a heads up and on the river he declares 2pair and his opponent folds.
We are kinda curious whether he has what he said so we ask and he says "No! I dont want to show" I called floor for my first time ever on a player.
Floor told me nobody can see cards unless youre in the hand and havent mucked yet??? Thats a standard hand, not asking to see cards. 20 minutes prior and with a different dealer someone asked to see my mucked winning hand and the dealer showed it immediately? Later the more senior floor agreed with me that we should have seen the cards to prevent an angle...
02-15-2015 , 11:48 PM
I agree that the cards should have been shown when asked for because if he overdeclared, the other guy should get the pot.
02-16-2015 , 12:18 AM
I'm pretty happy with my room's rule that in a hand that goes to showdown, the winner must show both cards to claim the pot.

I always thought it didn't matter what you said. If you said "I have five aces" but never showed, and the other guy mucks, that is hit bad I thought.
02-16-2015 , 02:59 AM
Yes. I dont know of a rule where a misdeclared hand is mucked. But, If he did angle then everyone should be able to see and judge him based on that. As it is I have to believe hes a cheater, why not show if you declare??? He has a target on his head from me, and ill tell this story every table im on with him in the future.

Go ahead. Call him a cheater to his face at the table.
02-16-2015 , 03:21 AM
I think I will actually, ill say "I think youre a cheater" instead of declaring it. But Ill wait till I get his stack and then say it...
Hes not a player I have to worry about and hes already a lagtard so if he plays harder at me then thats great.

Well, Robert's Rules of Poker do say:

Quote:
Although verbal declarations as to the contents of a hand are not binding, deliberately miscalling a hand with the intent of causing another player to discard a winning hand is unethical and may result in forfeiture of the pot.

Asian Nit quoted the RRoP rule that could--and would if I were the floor--result in the overdeclaring guy losing the pot.

Calling the guy a cheater isn't going to do anything other than maybe give him an erection depending on how into angleshooting and making other players tilt he is. Calling a competent floor over will result in some sort of warning issued and possibly more, like forfeiture of the pot if he did in fact overdeclare.
02-16-2015 , 10:48 AM
Let alone waiting until after he has cheated multiple victims before deciding it directly benefits you to speak up.
02-17-2015 , 02:49 AM
He seems like a young unconfident kid, so I will have fun with him- I hope...
More low content stuff, I had a live training session with fossilman today/ It was okay, tourney oriented, but very basic. I took away enough pointers to at least make my money back I hope. I lost the tourney but went and made 1000 on 1/2 tonight, not using any of the advice other than a smaller c bet can fold as many hands as a big one. Reverse of that is bet more if you have it because they will call anyways. Raymer never mentioned betting for value once, maybe tourney players only want folds?
02-17-2015 , 04:38 AM
I wish I could be at the table when you just flat out call this person a cheater. It's going to be so awkward.

What do you think "betting when you have it" is?

And you paid for this "advice"? Cbetting smaller will entice weaker holdings and ace high to float and betting more when you "have it" will entice weaker holdings to fold (which is why they call it value betting)

Live coaching is lighting money on fire since you are dealt about 30 or less hands per hour and play about 5 of them. So ~$400/hr ÷5 = $80 per hand. What a bargain.
