Getting thrown out of a Vegas poker room

#3 is berating, but is anyone seriously contending that berating colluders is out of line?

No. But expressing a legitimate gripe admist a sea of obscenities is dumb.

mocking strangers is pretty bloody pathetic.

trying to prevent collusion is fine, but there are a million better ways to do it than dropping a bunch of f-bombs and acting like a dick.

Not only should you be kicked out, you should be kicked in the head as well. If you don't know that it's against the rules to be abusive to other players, you need to go back to playing on the Internet.

Try acting like an adult.

So YOU judge for all of US that a player is bad for the game? No thanks, I'd like to make up my own mind.

Also, if a guy is bad for POKER, why would you berate him about something that is NON-POKER related? His age makes him a bad poker player? No. Make fun of his playing, I might be able to not hate you. Making fun of his age is pathetic.

Making fun of someone due to their old age is as pathetic as making fun of a baby for being young.

Grow up, sober up, give up.

P.S.: I consider you and people like you bad for poker.

Remember the Jim Rome/Jim Everett interview where he kept calling him "Chris Everett" and finally Jim Everett came after him? If we're playing poker, I guarantee I can get you riled with just non obscene words. Whether it's going ethnic, going appearence, going age,sexuality or whatever else you may be sensitive about. It's not hard to raise someone's blood pressure -- stopping when it's clear that banter has begun to get someone enraged is something I've done loads of times in casino games. I don't want to play at tables where everyone is nuts -- even if there may be some short term value in tilting opponents, the long term value to my enjoyment of the game and expectation is negative. Again, it's just common sense.

This is all very reasonable, and I agree. I'm just saying there's a line. Obviously racial slurs or cursing are over that line. I don't think "old man winter" is over that line. It bothers me when people try to censor me by deciding the line is someplace ridiculous. I can't control everything people are sensitive about and people being nitty shouldn't be my problem. By the way, I'm actually pretty quiet at the table most of the time. I don't make up names for people, berate them or really talk other than pleasantries. I just thought calling this abuse seemed silly. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Calling someone "old man winter" once, while rude, isn't abuse. Doing it again and again after the "old man" has made it clear he doesn't want to be called that is just abuse. This isn't a buddy that you can call "[censored]" all the time. If I continually did it to a stranger, he'd have the right to get upset.

Dude if you're gonna get tossed from the poker room at least make it for something fun and not because you're being an [censored].

Just because he gets upset doesn't make it "abusive". This is just idiotic. You're saying anything someone doesn't like is abusive. Your comparison is ridiculous. "Old man winter" is not the same as "[censored]". People need to stop being so pathetic. It's like they're just looking for something to cry about.

Now this is the type of [censored] I want to hear about. What is something fun? Any examples?

Also what happens when they toss you for being an ass? They don't trespass you I wouldn't think, what if you're a guest?

Any further thoughts on how close I was to actually being tossed? I think it was low in both cases, at the Wynn, the floor was very cool and even apologetic that I had to miss a hand.

Can I ask why you're so obsessed with this topic? Do you just need attention?

I find it slightly more interesting than questions of where to stay at in vegas, flashing hole cards, or IWTSTH. I'm sorry you feel differently.
