What would you do - player looks at my cards in the muck...

[PFrese]

Here is the set up - I am playing in a $20 sit-n-go, home game. 7 players. Most guys do not have a clue, play any 2 cards, have to be reminded to post, not sure what hand beats what. Generally, incredibly weak. They play for fun not to win (a concept withwhich I am unfamiliar [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]). OK, not that you know all of that, the most clueless of them all is sitting to my right. He and I are in a hand together heads up. He is the dealer on the hand. I have crap, but I put him on crap and move all in ( it would have taken almost all of his stack to call)as a bluff (huge mistake I know, given that he clueless). He thinks for a little bit and then folds. I place me cards face down on the muck. As he is reaching for the muck, he lifts my two cards and looks at them to see what I had!!

I immediately told him that he can not look at my cards if he does not call the bet. He responded with words about how he can look if wants to because he is holding the cards. At this point most of the table rallies around me and tells him that he can't do that. After we have a couple words (not very nice ones) he apologizes saying that he does not know better. I believe 100% THAT THIS GUY DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG!

My question - what would you do? Would you jump his stuff, would you say something nicely later, would you do nothing since you know that he is not smart enough to use the information, would you make him show the whole table so that you get some advertising? What would you do?

Thanks!

You were fine. Inform him of his breach of etiquitte/rules and move on.

[coyote]

you said yourself you believe it was an innocent mistake. tell him the rules and move on to the next hand.

You were correct - move on. In the future, against this player, be more inclined to move in with your strong hands rather than slowplaying. He may be more likely to call you now.

Since it's the first time, let it slide. If he pulls the same BS again, I would be tempted to break a couple fingers! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Not necessairly in this situation, but I believe people should have to pay for their f*ck ups -- misdealing costs a buck, etc. 3 strikes and your out -- after the 3rd misdeal, NO MORE DEALING for the rest of the night.

Ask Johnny.

He would have, but he's since died of old age.

I did not know that. How did he die?
