Just when I thought I'd seen all at NPL poker...

[G__]

.. even more bizarre action at the Torrens Arms.

Was on a table with a new guy at the TA and after a few hands you could tell this guy thought he was Phil Hellmuth, but thats fine and the night went on as usual.

Near the first break, i raise preflop, two callers including this guy, lets call him Bob. Flop is JJ7, I am first to act, i go all in (prob my worst all in bluff in NPL history as i had nothing, but i'd raised per-flop and was representing the jack, but thats beside the point). Now it moves around to 'Bob'. He starts playing the Hellmuth, eyeing me out, playing with his chips, like its heads up in the 2008 WSOP. After about a minute or so he shows me one card , a 7, and says 'i bet you didnt want to see that' , the other guy in the pot isnt looking so i give him a little smirk as if you say , 'yeh ya right i didnt !'.. anyway, he';s shown a card so i look at the next chick in the pot... then Bob calls! wtf?
After a brief war of words, i call Nick over , who nicely tells him he has exposed his card and hence is out of the pot (and actually should have lost all his chips after calling and then being mucked, Nick let him just fold)... whats worse is this isnt just a technicality, he genuinely thought (and he was not some newbie remember) that he could show me a card , get a read on me , then make a decision... wow

Some might go as far as to say that was a pretty bad move, it sure di make him look a bit of a tool. Well as long as the great NPL staff educated him on the right things to be done. LOL

How can you edit someones post......it's not rite!!

What you can't do is verbally denegrate another player in such a manner. Please read the rules of this forum. This thread I thought should be deleted but the majortiy of TD's thought it was a good idea to leave it up as most people would read it and, in a way, it is a good educational tool. The posts in response were to be deleted but instead they were edited, mainly as a joke on Pete and Luke.

I agree... other people shouldnt be verbally abused on this forum. Regardless of whether they are a good player or not. This forum is for all NPL players, not just a select few.

So as far as I'm concerned (other moderators or NPL staff might be different) a little editing of a post doesnt hurt things as long as the post still is understood.

Thanks Des.

ditto des

[BigPete33]

Agreed.

I'd like to remind everyone however, that a smilie face at the and of something means it's either a joke or meant in a light hearted way.


Unless of course you think you're Phil Hellmuth and behave in the above manner in which case I really do think you are 'funny and peculiar' - not that there's anything wrong with that
