PNW Comments about pub poker players

Just stacked in denominations. It is to clean the pot up and organise it.

thanks garth. thats what i thought, but just making sure


what if a dealer starts cutting it in stacks of 10 for another player, without being asked?

(you would prolly be a tool, but) are you within your rights to tell the dealer to stop this and just leave them stacked in denominations?

not saying i would ever do this, just a hypothetical.

You are well within your rights, as this may affect the outcome of the hand.
But be advised you will be known as THE TOOLBOX for the remainder of the night

benny the cunt is used to that anyway

its a nice surprise when someone doesnt call me a tool

my pet hate is people not being able to shuffle and deal correctly, and otherwise not learning the general etiquette.

i.e
pre-burning cards

riffling, then turning the cards in such a way so that everyone on the table sees the two bottom cards when they push the two stubs together

taking a card off the deck and looking at it before they put it down

dealing the card in a way that if you look carefully, you can see the card dealt to other players.

giving people change when there is still action to come.

letting people not in the hand take change out of the pot.

not collecting the pot after each betting round

even worse is when i politely tell them the correct way to do it, and they say "its free poker, get over it"

AAAAAARRRRRRGH

+1 to all of that.

I do so enjoy the blank look on peoples faces when they're asked if they know why they're even burning cards to begin with.


Just in case some of you don't know, the answer is not "because you have to".

I agree benny the cunt.



On a side note - if anyone wants to put benny the cunt on tilt - print this page

You sorta have to, Pete

Two players all in pre-flop, you still burn cards. Not because of marked cards et al, but because you just have to!

[bennymacca]

if you wanna put me on tilt, just limp utg with A2, then call my 9bb raise when i have kings, then flop an ace, then min bet into that pot, call a raise from me, then check call a turn bet, then check river again.

[BigPete33]

Well done David

WHY they have to is what seems to escape them, especially as they are laying them out early all nice and neat in pretty patterns so everyone can see them.

It's not something that should all be done at once as though it's a chore and they'd like it out of the way




benny the cunt - I like the justification of calling pre with K4 that I heard last night...... "I hit 2 pair" <cue facepalm>.

taking a card off the deck and looking at it before they put it down

Window shopping. And you do this, so shut up

[bennymacca]

You do. Its pretty slight, but its there. And especially when you're all in and you're dealing
