No More Food! (No Content)
 

Commerce 20/40 Live, 5-handed.

Terrible player hits the felt and leaves the game. As soon as he's about thirty feet away (the dealer is still gathering the cards from the previous hand), all four of us say -- roughly simultaneoulsy -- "Seat Open" as we gather our chips to leave. A good laugh ensues.

Subtle.

Congratulations, you openly mocked and possibly embarrassed the type of player that makes the game worth playing. Next time maybe you should spit on him and call him names, too.

Once, in my earlier days of playing, when I knew nothing of 2+2, or poker in general, I was playing ATC at 10/20, and on a huge rush. I was in fact up 3k. I left the table I was at, and then came back 10 minutes later. Another player then quickly returned, and they all started laughing about how he came back because I did.

I folded the next twenty hands, raised aces, won the pot, and then left the casino and decided to learn how to play.

Good work you nit.

I think you missed the point. This was clearly coincidental, not intentional.

Re: No More Food! (No Content)
 

WHOA.

All of you (save The Armchair) missed the point.

He was out of range/out of earshot/out of sight. He didn't see or hear us. And yes, it was totally coincidental that we all left the table at the same time.

Relax, you nit-haters, we didn't make a fool of the fish.

I don't know the rest of you, but I'm surprised that Scrub misunderstood. Maybe my original post wasn't clear? Maybe the fish was fifty feet away?

Nah, they're just being obtuse. The story makes no sense read any other way (why would you announce that there was a seat open and then immediately leave?).

Re: No More Food! (No Content)
 

I'm totally amazed at all the misunderstanding here. I think this is a funny story of all the sharks recognizing at the same time that the fish was gone. Hell, I stand up and leave when the table fish busts -- what's wrong with that? It's not making fun of anyone, especially when he's out of earshot.

Good story, BoxTree.

George is having an off day.

30 feet isn't really out of earshot. You want to give the fish a chance to leave before you get up.

Re: No More Food! (No Content)
 

because HIS seat is open because HE is leaving because the fish is GONE. i pictured the situation in my head and it made sense right away, a high limit shorthanded game loses its fish, the other 4 leave because they dont want to play 4 handed with fairly good players, they all know this, they all know the others know this, therefore it was a pretty witty, well timed remark by all, nh.

Right. It makes no sense any other way.

I agree with this. Anyway, the point of the post was to show that the fish was out of earshot -- the "30 feet" remark was just an estimate, and not an exact measurement made with today's top landscaping technology; whatever the distance, the OP made it clear that the guy was Gone.

"Openly mocked?" Gimme a break. This is the nittiest bunch of responses to a low content, off-the-cuff, funny-story post I've seen on 2+2 to date.

Totally agree. Could be that this board is filled with posters actively searching for opportunities to be aggressive.

It isn't just this board, it is a majority of the internet. Pseudoanonymity does that to people. I don't think that the OP was tapping the glass and openly mocking the fishy guy, if that was the case shame on him. I think he realized the humor in the fishy guy leaving breaking a table because nobody wants to play other good players if there are other games to be had.
