Getting thrown out of a Vegas poker room

[Lestat]

Sounds like you need to be taken outside by someone a little more worthy than old man winter.

Just go to any European cardroom. Such a breath of fresh air from American ones.

I presume you mean Western Europe.... because in my local California cardroom(s), the Russian players display far worse behavior than any other nationality or ethnicity.

Clowns like this guy are a dime a dozen in Vegas. Drunk and stupid and thinking anything goes because they are in Vegas.
You can push the envelope for awhile and be a big shot until the suits have had enough, then you will find yourself 86'ed.

I am beginning to believe it's almost impossible to get thrown out of any room at any time for doing anything short of setting a table on fire or urinating on it.

Last Sunday night, for example, at the Mirage four dealers from another casino (at least one from 2+2 who had the joy of my comedic stylings) and I were all at various stages of wrecked and were carrying on to the point where a number of times I thought someone would at least say something and yet...

...nothing.

Alcohol is a helluva drink.

There's unfortunately an invisible line where "good fun" turns into "barfight" and we must all be careful not to cross it.

Most every room has rules clearly posted that say "Fowl language is not allowed" or something to that affect. You need to learn to read and I have no sympathy if someone did end up kicking you in the nuts someday for acting like this.

So I can say "You [censored] prick, I can't believe you [censored] cold called K9 on a [censored] board like that!", but "Holy moly, what a demented dodo you are for playing cards like that!" is going to get me tossed?

Thanks for the heads up.

why on earth should any self-respecting person put up with harrassment from a drunk jackass when they could easily have that jackass silenced or removed?

If the guy considers someone calling him "old man winter" harrassing, then I'm guessing he pretty much lets any ridiculous thing bother him. That's just pathetic and weak.

You are missing the point and showing your selfish attitude regarding this whole issue. All of your posts (and the originator of this topic) all go back to one thing, which is basically stated as, "Because I think it's okay, therefore it's alright for everybody."

For one, it is not reasonable to think that a random stranger is going to like being called a derogatory nickname repeatedly. I agree, if you were to say something once, and let it go, it might still be stupid, but I also think most people would be alright with it.

It gets unreasonable when it is done repeatedly, to the point where it does become abusive. Would it be alright for someone to sit at a poker table and repeatedly scream in somebody's face? Maybe if they did it once after a bad beat or something, that'd be one thing. But when you do anything nasty repeatedly, it rises to the level of abuse.

Everyone has a right to play poker in a friendly environment. Stop belittling the man's sensitivity. If someone were to say "Hello, how are you doing?" and another player complained, that would clearly be unreasonable. However, if you repeatedly insult someone, then it's just plain wrong. Also, comments like, "I am a jerk so accept it" are the type of things that will get you into jail, not Wynn hotel rooms. If you get high off being a jerk, there are bigger issues to address than getting thrown off a poker table.

At the Wynn, they probably tolerated the original poster's antics because he was a guest. Also, I might add: Doesn't it strike you that you may have done something wrong when another player wants to come to blows with you? Maybe, just maybe, that indicates something is awry?

Are you a complete idiot?
You just contradicted everything I said. I said Foul language is NOT allowed. You can'tsay the first part. Therefore, using it may get you tossed. Say the latter of your post would not. What part did you not understand?

Abusing other players is unacceptable -- including calling someone a silly nickname. Cursing I feel less strongly about when it's just "Oh [censored]" and not directed at someone.

There's a huge difference between cursing someone and just cursing, I agree.
