How often does insulting the player backfire?

Sigh.

To be clear, I did not mistake him for someone else. I was telling him what he already full well knew.

When I know the answer (UTG/cutoff), I tend to phrase the question with only one option. I still phrase it as a question JIC, but I'm operating on the 99.5% assumption until proven otherwise.

When it's something like that: not very often.

yea this is probably not the right place to post this but do all poker rooms drug test?? i actually have been clean since the last day of 2015 for my own personal reasons but now got a job interview as a host. not sure if this makes a difference but my interview is at 8 pm so they wont send me to a place to get tested the same day. the room is in florida its a poker room not a casino. my interview is in 4 days idk if i should take a detox before i go in there.

Got randomed today.

Buddy of mine commented how when they want to cut staff they'll go through the steps to fire managers, but for us plebs they'll just random us until they get to the number they want.

Every job I have got in vegas tested pre employment except the wsop. But no job I have had has done random testing. Though I have heard of people being tested because of their behavior.

Raeed, I might have added that I've always worked in South Florida. I'm fairly certain that every room I've worked in has done on site drug testing, with some taking urine and others doing saliva tests. Nothing off site.

They'll test us if you were to go to the hospital for any reason. A dealer got bit by a spider and went to the hospital and had to take a drug test

When I had my hair test done, there was another guy in there trying to tell the tester that he couldn't give any hair because his head was shaved. She explained to him that she would find some hair SOMEWHERE on him to test. It was pretty funny.

I think it'll be interesting come Nov 2016 and beyond in Vegas. Nv will have recreational pot on the ballot. Likely it gets passed. but what will the corporate casino policies be? It'll still be fed illegal.

Should be interesting.

Everyone calls, and 1st player dark bets turn, 2nd player dark calls turn, So I put it out face down also. Still no board showing, everyone calls. And first player dark bets river, 2nd player dark calls, I put out the river face down, 3rd player dark calls, 4th player dark calls, 5th player says, "I gotta see a board".

As a player, I've never heard of this before. Could someone please explain? I play mostly Limit (and a few tourneys), not PLO, but I've seen players act dark and I've never seen a dealer spread the flop face down. If I wasn't one of the first three players to act dark I would have asked for the flop to be exposed.

Rapini: Sorry if this isn't appropriate here but I'm very curious about this procedure. Fell free to move this post if needed

So if you want to discuss it further, please make a new thread in the main B&M Forum. It would be a perfectly valid topic for discussion there. Thanks.

Had a guy a couple months ago on the button ask to skip his button. And the dealer let him do it. Anyone else see this before?

I haven't seen this. But if the room has a forward moving button rule its not really a big deal as you would just move the button as though the player had gotten up and left the table ....the guy who would be small blind posts on the button and you have two big blinds. I suppose the reason to not do it is the player skipping his button seems to be making the pot bigger by adding an extra blind while he is in late position, so he should not get to do this unless he is being dealt out. (BTW I would have interpreted his request as "deal me out").

Hard to say. If the unions become involved in it, there could be an argument going on.

I think there will be plenty of the 100k plus employees in LV wanting it ok. I personally could care less. Haven't smoked the stuff since I was 17
