The entitlement is real yo

Cashier was wrong for making a comment on a player's winnings/losses.

Player was wrong for acting like a giant dildo.

Now somebody please entertain me with something else that tilts you at a casino.

If a person gets upset in a casino when they lose they are a problem gambler. Plain and simple. A cashier should have the ability to talk about the persons time. I am constantly asked after playing sessions by certain cashiers how I did. I tell them. Its just a conversation. If you arent comfortable to disclose your losses you do not belong in the casino.

Was playing LHE. I capped flop with a monster draw. I end up hitting gets to showdown. These two asian guys mid 40s start to berate me. They tell me that I know I had nothing right? I tell them I had a huge draw. So they again keep going on saying I am throwing money away lol. I then explain to them that I have 50 percent of the equity. They have no idea WTF I just said. They then tell me that math does not exist and I am an idiot. Both end up looking at each other bewildered I had the audacity to believe that math was real. Just LMFAO

The case is that this person was visibly upset about the loss. The cashier should not have commented on the loss but just cashed his chips out.

Again...

Please see above Buka. And please get a clue while u r seeing above

A persons level of perception of ones emotion may not be equivalent across the board. You do not know if the person clued into it. Rarely are people malicious just to be malicious.


This mentality is exactly what causes this. Nobodies opinion matters but mine at all times mindset. The unfortunate thing is we interact with people constantly. Just like on this message board. You are going to have interactions which do not please you. If you aren't able to handle these interactions emotionally, you are going to live a very sad life constantly having a self absorbed pity party with yourself and looking to suck other into your abyss.

I digress though. I forgot this is BBV where the majority mentality is that of a casino degen who blames losses on those around them as opposed to inwardly looking on oneself.

U are absolutely perfectly correct. Which is why there is a universal rule across most(if not all) casinos that discussing wins or losses while cashing out chips by a cashier is not appropriate and not allowed. How is this still a discussion?

may be the dumbest thing i've read this year. people not being upset at losing money are very few and far between. most people get upset when they lose a friendly card game vs their buddies with nothing in the prize pool but honor. you can't be serious! don't underestimate ego.

but you think how people handle losses is equivalent across the board? ok...

all of this is correct.

Tx again masta... The fact that this is still a discussion is why i hate people so much i think. Similar to this recent discussion that took place at a 2/5 game at a local chicago casino....

Indian gentlemen bets $15 pf with 3 red $5 chips and says "fifteen". It folds around to someone who questions it and says "15 or 50?" Then someone else says "i heard 50 too!" Then the incompetent dealer stalls the action and is confused on what the next step should be. I ask how these guys could think he said 50 when he has 15 in front of him and it is much more likely to b 15 then 50 for an open in a 2/5 game. Not to mention the fact that live poker is considered a visual game and the fact the 15$ is in front of him is the end of it. The bet is 15$.

Well, the dealer first confirms with the better what he was trying to bet and he laughs and says 15 obviously. I laugh as well. Now the two guys start saying how they "heard" fifty so it could have been either. The guy had an accent as he was indian and fifteen and fifty sound similar regardless of an accent, but the fact that it was an open, 15 is in front of him, and he says that 15 is what he was actually betting then the case should b closed.

Instead, these two guys tell me im an idiot and that if they heard "50" then its possible thats what he was betting. Who am I to tell them what they heard? I just shook my head with disgust for how some people choose to act. They both folded to the 15 of course also.

I do see the point of those 2 others. They are probably holding high pairs and would only have played their hand if the indian had bet 50. With a 15 bet his range is too wide to take the chance of getting sucked out on.

Seriously when the **** are you guys gonna stop talking about the cashier

Bothered u that much u decided to come out and register?

Let me reiterate the point. I delivered it much too broad. Yes people will get upset. I meant it to be that if a person becomes so upset that somebody asking them how they did sets them off, thats a problem. If somebody asks you and you are upset you should not put the onus of the problem on them.

If you go do an activity where the majority of the time you are going to become upset and lash out at people curious as to how you did, yes that is a problem. If a golfer went into the club house after a bad round and was asked how he did by the bartender and lashed out, would that still be acceptable?

I don't think it is equivalent. I just don't believe you should go out affecting others with attacks because you arent able to emotionally handle and activity you did. Lashing out at people because of a "poor you" mentality is the reason why society is so self centred, self absorbed and why a problem is everyone elses but their own.

Buka,

I think we arent on the same page here...

I totally agree with u for the most part. The exception i can think of is what we were originally talking about. Just call any casino(preferably one in a relatively big city, not a hodunk town casino run by the local crime boss like in Walking Tall, which is a pretty decent movie btw). Ask to speak to a manager, cage manager specifically. And just ask the protocol for this situation. Case closed after that. Like i said, no opinion needed as we dont own and run casinos. There is a rule in place and that is it.

And again, im all for controling myself and not blaming others for my sometimes stupid decisions or poker loses. So i do agree with u for the most part.

The question is not whether or not the cashiers response was according to some "protocol". When you have real people in the real world, they don't always act and talk exactly according to protocol. What she said may have been slightly out of line, nobody was denying that, at least I wasnt. Whether that was intentional or not, nobody knows. It was just the OPs response, which was totally out of line, which makes it hard not to take a stance on the side of the cashier.

Im done...

solid 1st post

and that's not even a joke

1. Men who flirt incessantly with any woman above a 5/10 and below the age of 50.

2. People who berate the dealer for any small mistake or even worse, blame them for coolers/losing hands.

3. The table comedian, that one **** who just doesn't shutup and thinks he's the next big thing. (Often the same person as point 1). I take my ipod for the journey to/from the casino but rarely use it inside for obvious reasons but tonight I had to plug it in and play it full blast, the people at the table were just too god damn annoying.

Just come back from Vegas and two shining examples spoiled some good sessions. Bearing in mind this is 1/2 Vegas live.... not the best example of technical poker...

1) Dead serious middle eastern guy. Getting really upset every time he had to fold or was beat. Sat there muttering about the hand like 5 minutes after. He would always question his opponent in a derogatory way. For example if he folded to a big bet post flop he'd mutter for a bit then catch his villians attention and say stuff like 'Why did you bet with x on the table' or 'What were you doing in the pot when I raised and it's a dry board' etc. Totally killed any conversation on the table. Needless to say he bust out eventually.

2) Young lad looks like he's a bit merry or on speed or something. Talking all the time, getting involved in every conversation other players had. Talking loudly. Trying to make deals with the dealer saying 'If you give me a good hand this time I'll give you 15% of my winnings'. I mean he was doing this endlessly. Three or four dealers in succession. Playing really **** as well of course. He made a deal with dealer and said 'If you give me the nuts' I'll give you 50%' and guess what happened lol.. Made about $120 and we made him give half of it to the dealer as a tip. Totally killed the session. Moron.

Encountered the tiltiest person I've ever played with at Commerce Casino the other night.

-Haitian woman
-Gets really drunk and really loud at the table
-Keeps telling me to buy her a drink, when I don't she calls me a douchebag
-Berates at least 3 other players at the table besides me, asks an Asian guy about his dick size, makes fun of an old guy etc.
-Gets moved into the seat next to mine and decides it's the perfect time to get really loud/screaming across the room to her ****ing other loud friend, right in my ear
-When she wins a pot, which is rare, I see her lifting chips off the table and putting them in her purse
-Starts telling me some story about how shes a compulsive gambler, attending GA and her dad owned a gambling hall in Haiti. I DON'T GIVE A ****
-Playing Omaha, she flops a wrap and clearly colludes with her Haitian friend, telling her in French to raise. Breaks the English at the table rule and clearly cheating
-When she gets called out for colluding, she accuses another player at the table of cheating, saying they have him on camera. Starts screaming CHEATER YOU'RE A CHEATER directly in my ear
-She breaks up at least two games, just with her presence alone

That's all I can remember about her. There's for sure more. She was just the ****ing worst and tilted me and several other players multiple times throughout the session. It was so unreal

people who minraise pre, minbet every street, and pot bet the river for the big finale . and i miss my 27 outs getting 10:1 w/position

Hmmm, think I'm going to have to side with the Haitian woman here. Well as long as she didn't reply "Doesn't sound like you did alright" when you obviously weren't doing alright.

Everytime I go to the Vic in London, I get my £200 in chips.

Every ****ing time they try to give me like 4+ £25 chips...

I'm not playing blackjack, I want £5s!!!!!

Then I ask for all 5s and one of the girls there gives me a look, tilting.
