Secondly, standouts is clearly without a doubt just ********ting with this show in game or no deal buzz. If that were the case, standouts would of typed in chat, are you gonna show cards or what? The guy who was supposed to show cards would have SNAP shown cards if he didn't have QQ, why time bank honestly?
Let's all just end this with the standard, it's real money, no one likes losing it, and being wrong over the internet is worse than having your car window broken by some ****** teen.
I still think in this case, it's pretty obvious standouts made a bad hand read / bet and now doesn't wanna own up to his word. That's that.
You are thinking way too far into this. How I am supposed to type a full out contract of what I want from someone in like 20 seconds? I asked him to show me something other then QQ, which I wanted to be shown right then obviously like any other sane person, and he didn't do it so no problem. Had nothing to do with hand reading it was all in good fun and a lot of you are taking this WAY too far. I also had no idea he was a regular on these forums by the way. A buddy of mine told me to check out this thread in which I never read because he posted that.

what if you offered a reg $20 everytime he put you in a tought spot but they never took it. then all of the suddent they start a thread with 20 hh's? what good would that do you having the info now and how are you supposed to account for the liablity with no expiration date?
if anything the guy is trying to angleshoot standouts

Every day I see one reg here ask another what they had in a certain hand when they folded to a bet, they don't expect him to show it at the table.
In addition, you didn't say this to an unknown who then googled you, found you on this forum, registered, and showed a screen shot. You said this to a known reg on this forum. How could he not expect that coming here and providing proof wouldn't be accepted. And then to call him a toolbag for doing so is very poor form. Just my humble opinion.
ok I agree maybe I overreacted in calling him a toolbag, but some of the things he was saying were pissing me off? Once again I didn't know he was a reg, so seein this posted here was very amusing to me. Also, I know its not easy to show your cards at the table, but its just as hard to type over and over to him what I want while playing my other hands as well. He has to hit ctrl M and show cards is all. I gave him a fair shot by timering, this is just a useless convo. was just a random callout for laughs on to be a random player because a friend was at my house damn?

It's a foolish thing for him to have said at the time but I honestly didn't imagine it would lead to anything other than "sorry, I'm not going to pay". If he were to have shipped it then he'd get big props for standing by his word. Instead he's weaseling out with a weak angle which, as I lazily mentioned before, is easily disputed as Gunslinger has elaborated upon above.
What I find ridiculous is the pretense that he would've snap paid if I'd shown him at the table. What's even more ridiculous is that I'm the type of person who'd genuinely consider shipping some if not all of it back if he'd done it without fuss.
Anyway, you've now learned that I call 4bets wider than QQ and shove gutshots. Use it wisely.
Oh and I take back the doctoring hh/screencap stuff. I'm just very defensive about my word and clearly misinterpreted what you meant by "lame hh".
Enough with the angle this and that. You could easily be said to be doing the same thing trying to pull a guilt trip on me for something clearly known to want to be shown at the table. All this stuff is lame as hell I am not argueing over petty things that keep life fun. No hard feelings man NH well played and I couldn't make the call there either way. Was just a well timed shove... see you at the tables for round 2 :-)
