Am I in the wrong?
Home MTT.
With t1800 in the pot (t450 x 4 players, both blinds in the hand) I push on the flop for my last t2000. Two folds to LP who says he has t2250, and calls, splashing his whole stack into the center. I win the hand, he takes out his remaining t250 and I request a count of the pot to make sure we have it right. We set aside the t1800 from preflop and my t2000 (which hadn't been touched since I had counted it out) and count what is left: t1800. I tell LP that he owes the pot 200 of his last 250, and he says that I'm wrong, he had 2250 when he called my push and that he should have t250 left. We count the pot again, again it's short, and the TD declares he owes 200 to the pot, which he puts in agrily. The blinds were 75-150 at this point, so he's crippled either way. LP, who is a friend of mine, is now furious because I wanted his 200 even though I had won a t5000 pot. He thinks I should have let it slide, and that I'm being a total ahole. FWIW, it's not just a little 5 dollar tournament among friends screwing around. It was a 40 person tournament for stakes that mean something. Am I in the wrong? |

Re: Am I in the wrong?
Was it your decision to make? No, so you can not possibly be wrong.

I did request a count of the pot to begin with though.

[/ QUOTE ] You should be furious at him for trying to hold on to t200 that rightfully did not belong to him. You were in the right the entire way along and I would tell LP to stop splashing the pot and it would not be an issue. -Yarney |

If he wouldn't have splashed the pot, none of this would have happened. His fault.

If the stakes mean something they are your chips. If it's a $5 buyin toss him a couple blacks and order him to fetch you a beer. |
