Default Re: Habitual Stallers Deserve To Be Insulted And Reprimanded

Microbob,

Yes, the TD's might have made a special rule just to deal with her;-) In hindsight, they probably should have.

Try for a moment considering her behavior as being part of a modified prisoner's dilemma question.

Granted, you can do EVERYTHING you possibly can to increase your own advantage at the expense of everyone else, let's see some suggestions:

1) Stall every hand, every decision

2) Always ask to see mucked cards in the showdown

3) Wear some superstrong-smelling perfume or cologne that bothers everybody but you

4) Talk loudly and incessantly whenever you are out of a hand and your opponents are trying to make critical decisions

5) Be a "personal-space hog" at the table, spreading out as mush as possible in an effort to make your neighbors uncomfortable

6) Cackle loudly whenever someone takes a really horrible beat but still has chips left

7) Eat garlic and anchovies, and never brush your teeth during the whole event

Now, those things aren't "against the rules". But are we all adults here or are we little spoiled brats? Should we do those things for our own advantage, or is it better for EVERYONE if we and others don't do such things (or at least, don't do such things much)?

And yeah, I do think someone who does a LOT of that stuff routinely deserves to be insulted, browbeaten, snubbed, shunned, and lampooned to the fullest extent of the law;-)

So, I think calling her "H-DOG" was very, very mild, considering her repeated and egregious offenses.
