Dumbest attempted angleshot ever at Hollywood Park
Excellent 15/30 Saturday night. Two players are involved in this particular hand.
Player 1 checks, player 2 bets the river, player 1 calls. Player 2 shows a 6 in his hand, which matches a 6 on the board. Player 1 says, "That's good, take it," and mucks his hand. Player 2 then mucks his hand. At this point, Player 1 goes crazy and starts jammering loudly about how the pot now belongs to him because you have to show both cards to win. The floorman, who happened to be standing behind us as the action was going on, made the correct ruling in about 2 seconds. Also, I hate to say it, but I've noticed that these dumb "let's rely on the floorman to bail us out" angleshots tend to come from one specific group, and this was no exception.

Crawl back into you hole until you learn that the color of a persons skin doesn't make you better than anyone else. There is no room for biggotry here at 2+2, we discuss poker not how a persons race make him or her more likely to shoot an angle. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Re: Dumbest attempted angleshot ever at Hollywood Park
I certainly don't think the color of my skin makes me better/worse than anyone else. However, my not having to rely on perceived technicalities to win pots does.
I discussed this incident (away from the table) with a local pro who is black and was in the game with me. He was actually somewhat embarrassed by it and says he sees it all the time, FWIW. I'll crawl back into my cave now.

Re: Believe it or not...
..but you're the one out of line here. Our hero made a vague statement, and you asked for clarity with the aforeknowledge that he it was a derogatory opinion about a specific ethnic/color of people. In the future, try not to ask questions that you don't want the answer to.
BTW- asian females are the worst drivers in the world.
