$1/2 NL: Flopped set on soaking wet board (2 Viewers)

[jbutler]

Maybe it's just me, but I've never been tilted when somebody wins a big pot and leaves, regardless if his cash-out included my former money or not. It's now his, to do with what he wishes. However, I don't expect any crap when I decide to leave, either. I do always respect cash-out advanced-notice rules/etiquette, and expect others to do the same. But tilt? Nope.

it certainly doesn't tilt me, but it does show a general unawareness of poker etiquette to cash out immediately after winning a particularly big pot.

Never heard anyone give advanced notice at a casino and never expected to get notice.

It's much appreciated at the home games, but usually I have to kick Chippy and friends out at 3am

I did it once on a huge pot in a casino. I was only seeing my last hand before the blinds and had already stood up and racked my chips to leave after the hand. Look down find a monster which then develops further and in it with a big stack that won't take his foot off the gas. I end up taking over a thousand from the guy on the hand by the end and then he went volcanic when I went on to leave. WTF was I supposed to do. I was already heading out, did he believe I was obligated to change my plans since I had just lightened him by a grand?

That's the thing though, in a friendly cash game, it's usually the norm to announce a cash out, whatever the time frame might be. In a casino, you sit down when you want, you leave when you want. I've never seen players telling the dealer or the other players ok, I'm gonna cash out in X hours.

i certainly don't think you're obligated to give a cash out warning - i only meant that it is poor etiquette to win a big pot and then rack up and get up right away. i almost never do it because i generally play with many of the same people frequently and so don't want to give offense.

^ this. If you want action you have to give action and developing a rep as a hit and run player with the same consistent crowd at a casino is a fast way to develop a rep that'll hurt your hourly over time. I've actually racked up, played to the blinds and looked at AA UTG+1, played the hand, flopped top set, and won a huge pot. Then I unracked, played another orbit, and then left (and was folding pre almost everything). May seem stupid but it's about keeping an image as a guy who gives action.

What kind of moron gets heavily involved in a hand with a guy that is getting ready to leave, chips racked, looks at his cards and sits back down and decides to play. How much more obvious that you have a good hand can you be? Yes, you could be lying and trying to manipulate one last hand before you leave, but that is the least likely scenario I would imagine. I'd be pissed if I was that stupid too.

I can see this course of action if you haven't been playing for a long session. If anyone thinks of you as being the guy that doesn't give action after playing a 12 hour session and this situation comes up, they are as stupid as the guy that got pissed at Mr. Tree.

not trying to be a one-upper storytelling asshole, but i did see the most egregious version of this type of tardness one night a few years ago. at the time i was playing mostly $10/20 O8 and the table alongside us was almost always the $20/40 LHE game. as our game was going slow as molasses as usual, a little kerfuffle developed at the LHE table.

everyone looked over as one guy started telling another guy he had to table one of his cards because it had flashed during the deal. the holder of the card was adamant that it hadn't flashed and refused to table it for a new card. finally the floor was called and the two relayed their bullshit stories. the floor asked the accuser to whisper to him the rank and suit of the card he saw. the floor then looked at both the card holder's cards and said he didn't hold the card identified by the accuser.

then the hand continued. to no one's surprise, the card holder raised pre and got called in four places including the accuser. he then bet the flop and got called in two places including the accuser. he then bet the turn and was called by the accuser. he then bet the river and was called by the accuser. he then tabled his aces and the accuser mucked. i have played with a lot of stubborn idiots, but this guy has to take the cake.

 

[tommythecat]

Incredible. I have done some pretty stupid shit at card tables, but I USUALLY know it when I do. Sometimes it is even intentional. That guy may as well have been saying "I have aces" after every time he refused to table the card.

In all fairness to the guy it ended up being a set over set situation.

I call these guys "Stan": S*** That Ain't Nothin'.

i swear to god i almost wrote "not to be a stan..." then when i was googling for the brian regan clip i searched for "brian regan stan" because i would have sworn that he incorporated that into his bit though it turned out he didn't. guess the nomenclature makes its way around, though.
