Probably just pierogis and snow.

Lol. Everyone should load up all the stereotypical audio they can find and play it for all the different peeples as needed. I wonder how long it will take for something interesting to happen.

I can't wait for the first time I hear "Dueling Banjos" at Calipso's table to honor my Cracker-American heritage.

"Chinc hung ha rot ascho" I've got ases...fold!

They always stop people from talking another language than local language..pretty weird.

I actually like Deliverance.

I vote for English only...
What if you were playing in asia... oO

I enjoy speaking non english nonsense after I fold as if I'm saying something relevant.

My favorite is stating quite agressively in perfect Mandarin... "That's a big green bicycle!"

I did this once with another asian at the table who apparently caught that I said something in Chinese but not whatsoever related. The look he shot me was priceless.

Aside from that, everywhere I've played is English only during a hand. I was in a hand heads-up with a hispanic guy and he put a big bet into me. I started asking him questions in Spanish and the dealer called me out. "English only please!"

I heard that in Macau it is English only in the big casinos. There are more Chinese people that speak English in China than Chinese people that speak Chinese.

I get that it's funny, but please stop. You're making it more difficult to curtail the true offenders.

I have a good sense of what's just an unrelated one-off or expression of frustration (or conversation of a different hand), and what's potentially affecting the game, and I do try to be understanding of context. So I try to let slide a lot of stuff like that. However, by doing so, I've now made it more difficult for myself to stop someone who is egregiously breaking the rules.

Long story short, when I had to repeatedly ask a woman who was having extended whispered conversations in the middle of a hand with a neighbor who also had cards, she pitched a fit about how it wasn't fair because I wasn't telling anybody else not to talk. She stopped the game for a while bitching to the floorman about how it's not fair that she's being told not to speak Mandarin in the middle of a hand. She felt it was personal and targeted.

Because of people like her, it's very difficult for me to tolerate one-off comments. As much as I wish people were rational, they're not, so please stop. Much of poker procedure and etiquette is about avoiding the appearance of impropriety, not merely what you can prove technically.

Thanks.

useless discussion

its not allowed and thats it

even if its allowed the etiquette would say no in respect of the other Players on the table

and the right way would be to tell them nicely to not speak during a hand in mandarin , korean or whatever language. and than if they dont stop call the floor manager

Thats disgusting. How did he manage to buy in though?
