Re: Getting thrown out of a Vegas poker room
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Berating players as you just described is grounds to be thrown out. I have had opponents thrown out for doing this. Some get multiple warnings, others are thown out on the first complaint. Getting upset over suspected collusion is different. You should have better handled that situation. The suspected colluders would have been the ones getting the warning. [/ QUOTE ] where does he say he berated anyone? [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

The collusion part may have been berating them but it doesn't explicitly say that. If someone were colluding, I may say, "What the [censored]?" That's not berating them. Again, I'm not saying the op wasn't being a complete ass here, just that none of this sounds "abusive" to me.

I am a jerk / tool whatever, I know this, thank you all for reminding of this. 2. I was not berating. An old nit who was horrible for the game found himself with a nickname. I will make players bad for the game feel uncomfortable, players good for the game feel welcome, this is standard. See point #1 if you do not like this. 3. With the collusion, I did not berate, my response was something like "what the [censored], that is [censored] you cheating [censored]", again standard. They know I know and I know they know I know or such. 4. I am a drunk not an alcholic, alcoholics go to meetings. My behavior with zero drinks actually may have been much worse. See point #1.

[/ QUOTE ] since it's clear that you and some others don't know what "berate" actuatlly means, here's a hint: berate: to scold severely; upbraid. upbraid: to reproach or criticize harshly. reproach: to rebuke, blame, or shame. if you don't believe that #3 counts (and arguably #2 as well) as berating, you have more problems than i already thought.

[/ QUOTE ] i just taught you what the word "berate" actually means since you clearly had no idea ... there's plenty of "value" right there. or do you need a definition for that word too? are you actually trying to deny that your actions don't meet those definitions?

Re: Getting thrown out of a Vegas poker room
[ QUOTE ]
But seriously, thank you for your thoughts but as you have zero value to add to this thread, please stop posting to it. Thank you. [/ QUOTE ] Your OP adds almost zero value to this forum. It seems like you're merely looking for attention, just like at the tables. Your question and, I assume, the point of your post: [ QUOTE ] Is either case really such that they'd kick a player out? [/ QUOTE ] Obviously not, since they didn't kick you out. [ QUOTE ] I would think a player would need multiple visits from the floor before getting tossed for language / abuse. [/ QUOTE ] I think common sense would tell you that it depends on the severity of the language/abuse and depends on the card room management. What they tolerate varies widely. But since there are a lot of drunk attention whores like yourself at the tables these days, I doubt that what you did would result in being thrown out in very many places unless you continued after being warned. [ QUOTE ] I am also far from sober so I make my feelings known with a few f-bombs thrown in. <snip> Floor is not called cause both players were terrible and I did not want a scene [/ QUOTE ] haha

Re: Getting thrown out of a Vegas poker room

I will make players bad for the game feel uncomfortable, players good for the game feel welcome, [/ QUOTE ] The problem with your behavior, is that it makes the players who are good for the game feel unwelcome, and will only antagonize those who are bad for the game to be worse for the game. It seems that you see yourself on the "good for the game" category, but you obviously are not.
