Your call?

Could you remind us two or three times more that you're the best player in your game? Maybe not everyone caught that part the first two couple of times...

You could quote it for him if you think people missed it.

good thing i made another 50 dollar bet that writing I was the best player would inevitably annoy some douche who knows neither me or the people I play with so much he has to post a couple of times with nothing useful to add....

ladies and gentlemen, he does it one more time for the record! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] There's the hat trick!

your auto-ego-stroking doesn't annoy me; i just find it really funny [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[godofgamblers]

it obviously annoys you. why bother pretending you find it funny?

i think it can be generalized that poker players :
a.) hate when others say theyre the best player of their home game, despite it being the truth
b.) pretend not to hate it, and instead say "they find it really funny"

Seriously though, get a life. That advice is worth much more than you'll ever win in poker.

You just made my day...

Is my life THAT pathetic? In my defense my GF is out of town...

First of all sorry if I sounded like a douche. I had to say it was a home game in a college dorm, and the fact that we've been playing for over a year together and nothing like this ever occured. I know as the best player there I'm not necessarily right, which is why I posted here.

Bad practice that you need to unlearn.

Announce the amount before you put ANY chips out there, and you can go back to your stack ONCE to complete your announced bet

[booger]

different casinos have different rules so your "casino" should also. You should announce the amount prior to crossing the betting line or all chips that cross the betting line are your bet. In addition if the bet is say 50 and you hold 80 in your hand as you cross your betting line then you are committed to raise(since you hold more than 1.5 times the bet) which would make your bet 100. if you held 60 then it is a call. pretty simply system that would reduce string bet arguments. say there are 3 people in the pot on the flop and utg bets 50 and you have 500 in your hand and bring it out across the betting line and player 3 folds immediately you have just gained info prior to making your bet and you glance at utg who looks worried and now you know u can raise and take the pot....that's 1 reason for using the rule I described

ITs a string bet, no decsion there. You must either
1 announce your raise before putting your chips in the poit or

2 move your bet into the pot in one motion.

Hi, just some background info for this controversy. I'm in a college dorm, and we've been playing for about a year and a half. Nothing ever in dispute really happened, and I'm recognized as the best player so usually I call most rules.
