it was awesome, because at the time i hadn't shown down any bluffs at all yet. so it was not a huge pot chips wise, but it was massive for my table image, as i was doing this regularly without any resistance

And during the break, you should have punched the guy in the mouth.


ONE player to a hand.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

What would have happened if, based on what that guy said, she had called? Can you call the TD over and give him a warning? If I was in that pot and that happened to me I'd almost feel as if I should be awarded the pot (even though this will never happen).

I'd certainly be telling him all about how much of a douche he just was and if something wasn't done about it I'd be commenting his EVERY hand from then on.

here was another one from the FTT event

obvious wanker has a massive chip stack. gets it all in against this chick, on a 3 hearts board. when she rolls top pair and asks the other dude "do you have a flush" he replies "no" and then waits a few seconds before rolling over the queen high flush.

me and another dude told him that is like the worst etiquette ever

he replies " i dont really care about etiquitte at the moment", stacking his chips like he knows he is going to win the tourney

pretty sure he didn't even cash, so sucked in to him.

Well I hate the rail birds especially on the final table. Who look at their mates or your hand and when they/you fold they make an issue of it.

Moreso, after the flop, turn & river hits the table and they carry on about how you coulda won it and how they would have played the hand.

You guys know who they are coz we all have them.

I accidently slow rolled last night after raising $1200 preflop with pocket jacks with 2 callers. All paint on the flop so I raised $2400 to see where I'm at and hopefully get the 2 callers out of the pot.

One called and knowing he plays and calls with any two cards I checked on the furn and so did he. A Jack on the river gave me trips, I had him easily covered and he'd used both cards so if he hit the str8 or flush I was still alive. So, I went allin and he called.

I actually thought he had a straight or flush seeing he kept calling and I was gonna muck my cards when he turned his over. I sat there staring at the cards for a second or two thinking he'd hit but I couldn't see for the life of me what!!!

I turned my Jacks and said good hand as I thought he'd won and he stood up and said good game Bob. I was actually stunned and realise he never hit anything other than pairing his nines.

The young lass (sorry her name is a blank at the moment) with dark hair and glasses said, it's not nice to slow roll Bob. I said I didn't do it intentionally as I was going to muck my cards. I said really thought I was done for and didn't want to give the table any more info on how or what I was playing.

So, I guess she was right in thinking I was slow rolling so in future I'll try and remember to just turn em and weep or better still rake the chips.
Remember, It takes 8 muscles to smile :D and 40 to frown :(

simple solution to this bob

if he called you turn your cards over. he paid to see them, so turn them over

Bob, this is probably the issue. He called you, so you should've showed your cards before he did.
I'm not perfect. I'm what perfect aspires to become
