Jerk of the Day
 

Two players remaining in the pot. Board is 8-8-8-K-T. First player checks. Second player bets. First player check-raises. Second player calls.

First player shows A-8, quads. Second player shakes his head and mucks. First player tells the dealer, "I want to see his hand."

I'm normally a mild-mannered milquetoast, but had I been the second player, he would only have been able to see my cards if he could look up his own ass.

Hi Andy,

Maybe you and the jerk could settle things here.

Re: Jerk of the Day
 

if i was the second player id pop the cards in my mouth and chew on them, then show him

Re: Jerk of the Day
 

Why didn't you say something to the schmuck?

Re: Jerk of the Day
 

That's awful. Did the dealer expose his hand? What limit/casino did this happen at?

Re: Jerk of the Day
 

Response to this is to ask to see jerk's hand every time he makes it to the river, regardless of whether or not you are in the hand. Do not miss one single time.

Come on, The guy is out of line. For some reason I get a really uncomfortable feeling any time a winning player asks to see a losing player's hand. This instance is particularly uncalled for.

He was probably curious to see what kind of boat loser had. I don't think you or loser should take it personally.

Re: Jerk of the Day
 

In a stud game I once witnessed a similar occurrence in a gigantic pot. The winner made a straight flush; the loser called the river raise, was shown the winning hand, and tried to muck his cards; the winner then very loudly declaimed in an affronted, accusatory tone, "I want to see that hand!"

Takes all kinds, Andy, you know...;-)
