BS in a live homegame

[bhoywonder]

 wow


 

i dunno bout u guys but when i show a bluff i dont rub it in anyones face...I don't slam down the cards or say anything..i show em sheepishly

and try and move on very quickly to the next hand..the bluff itself is enough to achieve what you want to..job done

I'm sure anyone can take a well played bluff at anytime,if shown in the correct manner..i.e turn em over and say nothing untowards..remember the guy is hurting ( don't rub it in )

I may be wrong but im sure this guy has been bluffed and showed it before, we all have...actually i applaud a good bluff at me...i really do

but i have yet to encounter someone showing the bluff out of spite or menace and rubbing it in...personally i would ask of this person WTF are you doing if so also

 I wasn't naming anyone or questioning anyones integrity - I was just trying to gauge peoples thoughts on the matter

While you didn't mention names, you may as well have.

In the past, you have mentioned you live near Gala Dundee. Now you mention going to a home game with about 30 runners, £50 +(1 R/A)

How many of them are there in town? Do you not think it likely a few blondes will know what game, and thusly who you are talking about?
A claim of impunity from naming names when you make a post like that is ridiculous. Stop and think before you post.

Thankfully for the Dundonian, it doesn't seem like you are the sort of person to be taken seriously. I'm sure nobody will have lost any respect for him via this ridilcolous thread....

I won, while I was winning, I acted like a twonk, the person in who's home I was a guest told me to stop acting like a twonk, he didn't stop to listen to my life story, what utter BS.

 Lets put this into a real perspective, you are already barred from the local casino, (hard to do)

That's not actually true, however 4 of the guys at your homegame the other night are actually barred.... but I am sure you know this already, and chose not to mention it. ahem. convenient no?

and because of your bazzar behaviour and your immensely stupid post on here you have now alienated the one man that have might have been able to help you and held out the hand of friendship.

Immensely Stupid post? which one was that?

Umm, I presume you meant bizarre behavior. If querying the incident on a poker forum is bizarre, then I am indeed el-bizarro. showing a nice bluff to the aggro CL on a FT is obv super bizarro.

I like the way you sidestep the real issues and mention irrelevant stuff.
Clearly you still think it's okay to chastise somebody when you don't know the facts, good for you. I think it's bad form. You didn't comment on this, again quite conveniently. 

As for the hand of friendship bit, TBH I don't need friends that prejudge, jump down my throat and give me shit, then try to throw mud at me on a public forum when I question events in a rational and pretty anonymous way.

 
Your post was ill thought out, and really emphasises why you cant get a game.

Lolz what are you on m8?  MY OP was thought out fine - it outlined the facts, didn't name any names etc. I wanted opinions, and of course got a diverse spectrum of replies and opinions, which is good. I can get plenty of games btw, thanks..
 
I certainly have no desire to play somewhere with no common rules for everyone, and with a TD / house endorsement on that kind of behavior. Rest assured I was not the only person that was there that was aghast at the guys reaction. If you had at least acknowledged that you had maybe been a bit quick to take sides without any information on the matter, then I would have been cool with that, alas that's not how things panned out.
 

ANYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT , CALL ME OR COME HERE.

No more on Blonde , I feel stupid enough already.

No need to shout sir.
Given that I didn't name names, If you feel stupid that's unfortunate but not my problem (nor was it my intention). It is a shame you have to resort to such mud-throwing tactics in your reply, rather than sticking to the facts of what happened. it doesn't show a lot of maturity imo.

I thought you might at least deliver a rational response to your handling of the situation at least (since it was your game), esp in a public forum - however I was clearly very wrong and you chose to skim over that bit.

as for "CALL ME OR COME HERE", umm I think you have said what you have to say, but of course I am happy to discuss this in person with you if desired.

anyway honestly no disrespect to you, I was just pretty effing offended at the incident and wanted some opinions.

Good luck with your games now and in the future.

an exchange of phone numbers via the pm service and a chat may be a start

Guys, please keep it civil.

[DungBeetle]

I obviously wasn't at the home game, but I'd vouch for the integrity initial poster.  In this year's Irish Open Main Event I was the player who unintentionally slow rolled pocket Aces against his QQ pre-flop, and knocked him out after thinking the clock had been called on another player and not myself.  He took this extremely well, and recognised my actions for the honest mistake it was, whereas I'm sure some players would have gone off the handle.  On this basis, I can't imagine him getting out of line at a £50 buy in.

[Acidmouse]

Psychology is such a part of the game that pretty much anything goes on the tables imo (within  boundaries of decency and respect)..

If it was home game where people wanted a relaxed atmosphere then I would have thought you was out of order for your actions tbh.

eh? Let's keep this convo in proper context. it was final table of a £50 quid rebuy with ~30 runners, a GBPT winner, a GUKPT final tablist etc. not just a "friendly homer" with a bunch of fish.

1st pays £1100. I showed a bluff, and I am out of order? 

lol. good one. 

Please don't ask for opinions if you are then going to lol me and add more context to the original question after. I still stand by my opinion. What you did was imo wrong, if you don't agree then please don't ask on here again.

[TheChipPrince]

It all depends how you showed the bluff, jumping around like Rain Khan slamming the cards down, or turning them over with a cheeky smile...

[doubleup]

wow when the sheep are busy taking care of lambs, there's obv a lot of tension in Dundee...

[scotty2hatty]

Umm, I presume you meant bizarre behavior. 

This is brilliant, pick up someone's spelling error and then follow it up with one of your own.

It's pretty clear that you didn't just flip your cards over, and performed the action in an "in your face" kind of way.

Unfortunately I couldn't make the game (bloody uni exams) and I've only met Paul once or twice but he seems a top guy who always seems jovial and friendly.  I actually don't see the need for the OP, what did you hope to achieve?  People here know neither of you but seem to favour The Dundonian's stance, wonder why?

I don't really understand it when people play poker and get all bitchy and offended. In this thread the op has shown a bluff. So what? Was he told not to show a bluff at this home game? If you don't want this to happen a quiet word to tell the newcomer the score would be appropriate enough. Instead. the host has got bitchy, the guy who was bluffed has got bitchy, the op is bitchy and many of the posters on this thread have got bitchy. WHY? Oh, it's the manner in which he has shown it! Deary me, how upsetting for everyone concerned. If playing poker is an emotional rollercoaster for people it's probably time to find a new game. The beauty of a home game is you can invite who you want. So invite who you want.

oh ffs, get over it.

hes bitchy, someone else is bitchy, they're bitchy, we're bitchy(you missed yourself out btw)

most people in the world are bitchy, it's life.

It's a poker forum, ON THE INTERNET, a place where people happily discuss all aspects of anything remotely distastefull that they wouldn't dare say in real life, a place where nearly every other thread descends into a row because someones been offended, it's almost a pre requisite of membership to be bitchy or you'll get dug out, difficult to take seriously anymore really, thats why i'm happy to just amuse myself most of the time on here.

Am I supposed to be offended now and get all bitchy like "most people in the world"? Much better to smile at the antics of fools, like the guy who was bluffed could have. I'm sorry, I don't own a handbag at the mo.
