Weird, but I think cards are fair game, even though we’re spending $20ish per setup these days. I wouldn’t tolerate somebody trashing a deck every week of course. But if it happened once, I wouldn’t even care.Had a guy throw cards so hard once he broke them
I’d close line him before he could get 3 ft from the table…
Live look @louBdubI know lots will be posted…. But what I’m gonna say, I mean.
Do that to my set, at my table, at my HOUSE…. and I’ll turn you inside out. We’re not playing poker anymore, you disrespected me. Shits gonna get real active homie.
But I don’t have dudes like that at my table…. So, yeah.
Due to the local card culture, through no fault of my own , I have smashed and threw cards into a trash receptacle. Copqacs only, heavily raked game and after I could see, I offered to pay for the setup. HashtagShameWeird, but I think cards are fair game, even though we’re spending $20ish per setup these days.

But don’t throw the chips!
Sounds fun…like a good ol’ fashioned food fight with chips. I don’t see an issue since they were casino used/owned…I think I just realized my new fantasy.Playing at the Nugget on Fremont about 15 years ago. Guy sits at the 2/4 limit game with a grand, all singles. No clue why they let him. He's in the 10 chair, a drunk guy that's been playing through the night is in the 1 chair.
Big stack cracks drunks kings with 72o and starts laughing. F Bombs start flying from the drunk. Big stacks says, "I was just messing around. I didn't mean anything. Here," and slides two barrels in front of the dealer towards the drunk. Dealer pushes them to his left and the drunk grabs a barrel with each hand, stands up, yells "fuck off!" and chucks them at big stacks, hitting the player and the dealer.
And the floor...didn't...toss him.
I'm sensitive to emotional swings today, where at one time I was quick tempered, so I'm reluctant to resort to violence. I don't want to go back to being that kind of person, however, my first thought was I would have jumped up from the table and slammed that prick into the wall, followed by whatever punch combination that felt right at the time. But, that passed. He wouldn't be invited back, and, if there was restitution that needed to be made, and wasn't, I'd probably snip off the valve stems on his vehicle. All four of them. Six if he drove a dually. But not in my driveway, at a later date of my choosing.
Man, poker's social and educational value is that it's a school of injustice (on the short and medium run). A school of swallowing injustice and moving on.I think cards are fair game
