Re: the guy won\'t decide.
I agree that it is a common rule and can understand why the players acted the way they did. We just do not know all the circumstances here. I'm sure the vacillator had some justification (at least in his mind) for his actions (though I can't think of one). However, you are assuming that the offender has played in a casino or is familar with casino rules. If all this guy knows about poker is what he sees on ESPN then who knows what he is thinking. Also, were there 7 other other guys heckling him for the entire time? Maybe he cracked under the abuse/pressure. We just don't know.
Lottery Larry, I respect your posts as well-thought and on the mark, I think I might be the nit here so I will stop the insanity after this post as I have a bad beat post to draft [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Since this does not appear to be a friendly home game, then I will say to the OP, if this guy is a fish, you didn't just tap the glass, you took a sledgehamer and destroyed it.

Re: the guy won\'t decide.
Welll... its MY game, so i do like to keep control.
MY Q IS: when do poker rules lose their authority? Which ones are holy, and which are too obtuse and snobby for a home game? Has someone written a 'home game poker rules' book? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO? BTW: Its obvious now that i should give hime his money back. Somehow he totally screwed me by 'taking the table hostage'. Its a cheap lesson really.... Whatever man, just dont try that again. A footnote: Is giving a player special treatment because he's a franklin flippin' fish immoral? more on this later too... thanks anyone and all...

It doesn't matter- if the delay was as extreme as indicated, you can make a case for creating a deadline and enforcing it. Your last comment below is a related consideration, however. "Lottery Larry, I respect your posts as well-thought and on the mark" Work on your reads- they're horrible :P "after this post as I have a bad beat post to draft" Don't make me hunt you down and beat you "I will say to the OP, if this guy is a fish, you didn't just tap the glass, you took a sledgehamer and destroyed it. " Agreed. Balancing the game vs. the player's future considerations is the tough part of this.
