Title: Push ups in the card room
Post by: bobby1 on June 28, 2005, 03:27:25 PM
Title: From last weeks final table
Update

Log:
Hand 12 - Laak has the button, he limps, and Chan checks. The flop comes 10h-9c-3c, and both players check. The turn card is the 2c, and they check again. The river card is the Jd, and they check again. Chan shows a pair of threes to win the pot.

Hand 13 - Chan has the button, he limps, Laak raises to $40,000, and Chan calls. The flop comes 8-7-3, Laak bets $92,000, and then drops to do push-ups while humming the theme to "Rocky." Chan eventually folds.


My question is, how would this be ruled in your local cardroom?
Moody?
If push ups are allowed is it also ok to moonwalk around the final table shouting scha mo muther ****** or something similar?

I haven't seen anyone in my local cardroom who looks like they can do push ups !

I feel the benefits of physical excercise are vastly overrated, i jog every day from the kettle to the fridge and i'm still a fat git so i'd definitely pull him to one side and have a quiet word.
"OI!! Phil, NO!! it ain't big and it ain't clever"

What an utter & complete imbecilic selfish arrogant moron Laak is.

Hold on - did I hear the Poker 425 Producer say he wants me to interview Laak whilst in Vegas?

"......So Phil, you have thrilled & entetained us wonderfully with your fantastic repertoire, and I have always been a big fan......"

And Bobby, DO try & put your Posts in the correct section, this is "Live Tournaments", I don't want the bigwigs from Poker 425 giving me grief.

And now I'll have Ironside telling me to transfer it & I don't know how.

Steady on TightEnd, but he may have copied the press-ups idea from Dave Smith.

Well you do seem to have a lot of time on your hands Ironside, after playing comps.

Bobby - no prob, if I get grief from the 425 boys, I will refer them to you.

Press ups are ok in Luton but not at the vic ( i think)

Theres nothing wrong with a little healthy exercise, would be a little difficult in gala notts as most dont even recognise a pressup!!!

the reason you can't do press up in the vic is that there is hardly enough room to stand let alone do press ups

Really Karabiner? I don't like his antics. But that's just between you & me.

Dave regularly jibes me because I say everyone is nice or lovely or wonderful. But that's generally how I see folks, & indeed life.

But I sent a tetchy note tp Dave last week about some issue or nother, told him some dumbass was being a, well, dumbass, he replied "that's better, that's my boy".... "Boy", you notice that, "BOY"? I love that man.

Generally I am at my tetchy ness-nest when I first get up, then I sorta mellow, then as I get tired, it starts again. At the moment, I have about a 1 hour "nice" window.

If it was an under table camera job he might see the other players cards.

Most banter is good though.

The Devil was at it yesterday, showing everyone how checking in the dark should be done. My partner in crime managed to get a nice pic. I think it is a great improvement on his looks:

Any chance he might keep it on? Bet he's got a mirror inside it anyway. A tad vain is Mr U.

No shit sherlock. Describing Mr U as vain is like describing me as talkative. ;)

Is that Laurence Gosney in the picture? Looking like he has a tidy stack?

yes that is 'ardent rounder' and perpetual optimist Lawrence Gosney - does look like a nice stack doesn't it!!
