I forget the PF action, regular had rasied PF though, but there were 4 guys in the hand on the flop of AsJdQs. All check, guy in middle position he bets, regular raises everyone folds and mp shoves. Rregular calls. Now the board runs out A on the turn and Q on the river. No one flips there cards over and dealers says let's see them. MP thinks he is beat and says so. Solid reg says I called you, you show. MP flips over K 10 for flopped straight. Then reg flips over the MORTAL NUTS with AQ. Absolutely douchey move when you can't lose if you ask me. I just don't understand why people do this and expect not be thought of as an a**hole. Is this as bad as I think it is?
My suggestion to the regular if you read this is to not be such a HUGE DOUCHEBAG since you pissed off the fish at the table and they all said something about it. You have the nuts, just flip it over and take the huge pot. Then you just make fun of the guy who lost when you laugh in his face about calling your raise with K 10 to begin with. Grow the F*** up!
It depends.
I played in Sacramento for awhile going to school, and noticed a very funny dynamic there. Sac is a very rural, small town and with the player pool so small, most of all the poker players know each other or at least play together often.
There's a lot more dicking around going on for sure in the Sac poker games, and the games seemed to have a much more home-game feel to it, players being very comfy about being douchy, and give each other crazy action/trying to bust each other with random garbage.
For a long period of time there was a unwritten game going where if there was at least 3 of us given group of guys there in a same game(and sometimes games would just literally be like 9 regs flinging stacks around), there would be a slowroll contest. generally trying to execute the most hilarious, best/trickiest slowroll in good pots.
turned the taboo into something funny, got the whole table loose and gambling, and desensitized me forever so that no matter how bad of a slowroll I get now, it does not affect me one bit.
