i see the poeple, when their name has been called, running to their open seat like somebody is gonna steal it. theyre practically falling over in their haste.

i see people new to table, sit down and wait 6 hands for the blinds to get to them, and then decide they need to buy chips from the dealer. people, buy your f'ing chips at the window (for casinos with no chip runners), especially if its a time game. morons.

"lol" will never die, grandgnu. AOL firmly entrenched it in netspeak. They used to have a button you could click to paste LOL in colors into AIM. Bastards.

Wackiest thing I've ever seen was at a 2-5 spread HE game in colorado. One guy who was trying to get people to play pots blind with him. He finally got three customers on his button and they were capping it. I'm sitting there laughing openly at them saying, "You know he's going to win, right?" The other three finally looked at thier cards when the second ace hit on the turn, our blind hero still hasn't and is raising every chance. As the dealer prepares to flip the river over he says, "Honey, if I win this hand, we split the pot." She flips over a mid straight possibility and our hero is still raising the UTG that bets out. UTG calls him (last customer) and says "Only two pair, no boat." Our intrepid hero throws over one card... it completes a four card straight. His second card was accompanied by much delay and fanfare.... NUT STRAIGHT. He chopped the pot with the dealer and we all had a good laugh, even the showdown loser. I was watching this guy the whole hand and he never even touched his cards, let alone squeezed them.

Sitting between 2 drunks and I'm the one that gets cutoff. Mind you, I think I've maybe had 1 drink in all the time I've ever played at my local cardbarn. I've had my head resting on 1 hand for the last 30-45 mins staving off a headache.

Bonus for the security gaurd who tells me he 'understands' that I haven't had a drink, but would still like me to cut back for awhile.

Dealer mentions that they may have the wrong person, they snap back with how they know what their jobs are.

So then they ask the person on my right, who's toasted, if the drink in front of her is hers. She giddily picks it up, looks at it and smirking says 'why yes, it is my drink.' Eyeing me they ask her if she's sure.

What a crack security team we have. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hot and heavy action in old Gardena. A house player and a floorman have been verbally sniping at each other. A dispute breaks out involving the house player and another player (in those days we dealt ourselves) and the floorman is called over. Predictably, he rules against the house player. The house player berates him for his decision.

"Bad decision?" says the floorman, "I'll show you a bad decision." And he walks around the table and punches the house player. The house player jumps up and tackles him. The entire table topples over. People are running over from all over the cardroom yelling, "Kill him, kill him!" and looting the chips which are all over the place. (This was a 15-30 draw game, at that time, the biggest game in the house.)

It takes about a half an hour to get things back to normal, so I use the time to take a much-needed bar break. (In those days in Gardena, you couldn't drink at the table." While I'm in the bar, the cardroom manager brings the floorman he threw the punch in and tells him, "Joe, you know I'm going to have to let you go."

Now that was a good decision, no?

I actually made out OK since, at the time of the incident, I had only a small stack of chips left. The floor tried to check the tape to see how many chips everyone had, but they were generous with disbursements, I guess in the intereste of not getting sued or whatever.

I am so glad I wasn't drinking anything when I got to this part of the story. My monitor would've been covered.

Every time I go to an East Coast cardroom and I'm reminded I have to walk to the cage and wait in line because they don't have chiprunners.

Foxwoods: Two tables over from me, a heavy set (approaching 300lbs), older gentleman in a wheelchair starts going into what looks like cardiac arrest. The paramedics come quickly and give him oxygen and he gains controls of his faculties. They ask him to come with them for observation and he refuses. He insists on being dealt in. The oxygen mask is still on his face. They demand he come with them and again he refuses. Dealer deals a hand (including him). He still won't leave the table. Finally, the 9 other players at the table, get up and walk away.
