Title: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: Chipleader on September 26, 2008, 02:17:09 PM I played a live £50 freezeout yesterday and the following happened:
66 runners 9 get paid Final 2 tables(i think 17 left) blinds at 600/1200 Short stack(who doesnt go down there a lot maybe once a month) pushes all in UTG+1 and its folded round to the big bling who is 2/3 chipleader(Regular there 4 nights a week)! now this is where it gets interesting The guy in the big blind says to the player all in, "go on show me one card ur allowed!" the all in guy then shows Ahrt as soon as that happened the guy in the big blind said he wants a ruling as the other guy exposed a card and wants his hand dead! The ruling was that the hand is live and to carry on! he kept asking to see the rules etc but the tourney director said that the clock was still ticking so he should carry on with the hand and he still wanted to he will show him after the hand! He then started shouting NO SHOW ME THE RULES NOW several times and got a warning then started shouting dont point at me etc to the TD who then disqualified him from the tournament! he then didnt want to leave the card room unless he was escorted out by the bouncers!! How stupid is he and what a waste of £55?!? Was pretty funny to watch tho Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy?

Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: relaedgc on September 26, 2008, 02:36:27 PM The rule is you have the advantage of making your decision with the knowledge of his hand.
Shut up and get out works, too. Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on September 26, 2008, 02:38:56 PM wht a douche!

Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: mike saban on September 26, 2008, 03:36:28 PM Pretty dumb.
what happened to his chips ? were they removed from play or blinded out ?, did the small stack double through or just take the blinds ? Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on September 26, 2008, 03:38:34 PM Pretty dumb. what happened to his chips ? were they removed from play or blinded out ?, did the small stack double through or just take the blinds ? Lol, it was you wasnt it? You just want to know if you blinded out to the money or not? Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: Snatiramas on September 26, 2008, 03:43:25 PM I remember reading in one of the many books I have perused "you are in poker as you are in life"
Nuff said Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: ScottMGee on September 26, 2008, 03:56:11 PM Was this at a Gala Casino by any chance?

Chips were removed from the tourney! small stack just took the pot as it is Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy?

Lol, it was you wasnt it? You just want to know if you blinded out to the money or not? haha - no not me. Was just interested as wasnt sure what the proper ruling was for occassions such as this. Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: MC on September 27, 2008, 04:09:50 PM He deserved to be DQ'd just for telling the guy he was allowed to show and then trying to get him punished for it.
Good work by the TD though What a donkey! Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: BigTomatoes on September 28, 2008, 03:50:20 PM i dont see the point in showing the ace in that situation ?
anyway , the villain is a prick for trying that if he tried that with me i wouldnt miss him , id probably help the bouncers burl him out Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy?

Post by: Chipleader on September 28, 2008, 10:30:15 PM he is a twat and apparently he went to the empire yesterday to complain to the head of poker for LCI (it was in the randezvous in brighton which is part of LCI)
Wat an idiot Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: Royal Flush on September 29, 2008, 04:46:02 AM Who was it?
Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: ScottMGee on September 29, 2008, 08:59:15 AM Quote it was in the randezvous in brighton I am not surprised, played their once and their locals were less than friendly to say the least. One lad when he folded insisted on SLAMMING his cards on the table everytime. Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: tonysaint on September 29, 2008, 12:26:07 PM Saw it happen - guilty as charged and somewhat surreal.
The guy is clearly intelligent and a lot of people regard(ed?) him as a nice chap, but he completely lost it when his very questionable tactics did not work for him. Whatever the letter of rules ( his point ), the spirit of the rules are far more important and hats off to the TD who suffered abuse but dealt with it very well. Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy?

One lad when he folded insisted on SLAMMING his cards on the table everytime. Middle Eastern chap? Have to say the locals are very friendly it has one of the best atmo's in the country.

Title: Re: How Stupid is this guy? Post by: Royal Flush on September 29, 2008, 07:46:08 PM Tony told me who it was, lolz hard.
I keep laying him a price on him winning the comp, he hasn't figured out yet that he has to lower his open raising range below AQ+ TT+ yet so hasn't collected thus far. |
