Was I out of line (calling the winner)? - Page 2

Who are these morons you guys are playing with who are always getting so nitpicky over the slightest things? I've never seen so many people who try and angle-shoot over $10 buy-in situations. They're sore losers and I'd never want to play with anyone again if they turned into little bitches because they didn't win with the second best hand.

Actually i'd have to come back over the top and get in P2 and P3's face for acting like they won when they knew they didn't, just to see if they could get the pot from the person it truly belonged to. Their behavior is infinitely worse and intolerable in my opinion. If it's supposed to be a friendly game, they shouldn't be cheating/angle shooting like that.

I think you did the right thing. I agree with Rogue. Whining while holding the inferior hand is poor.

You did the right thing. They all should have known they were drawing dead after the turn.

Definitely not out of line. Once the Q hit on the river I would have said, "Toot toot, nice boat, 10's over Q's." I would have then pushed the chips to the winner and hopefully everyone would have realized what happened before they started whining. If they still complained I'd tell them that the person with the best 5 card hand gets the pot and it's not them.

i know in all the hold 'em games I play cards speak. I have found that dealers choice is another story especially with hi-low split pot games.

I always play "Call your hand"...but the entire poker world says cards speak...which is fine. The bottom line is make the rules clear BEFORE the game begins...then everyone knows what the rules are. Never complain...never explain.

Cheers all.

You did it right. Find a copy of Robert's rules of poker, print them out, and keep them with the chips. When arguments arise, get out the rules.

You were dealing, he showed up his hand and didn't muck it. It's the dealer's job to pick the winning hand.
