Angle Shooters.

I was playing in a loose fun $15-30 LHE game at the Venitian during my recent trip to Vegas for the WSOP. "Poker Dick" as he wanted to be referred to in this BLOG keep going at it with a young man in the eight seat. I thought it was funny that they both kept bluffing each other off of the winning hand. They took turns showing it and I thought it was good for the game. Then "Poker Dick" put a bad beat on the eight seat. The eight seat starting getting personal and nasty toward "Poker Dick". That was starting to ruin the game. Then the eight seat shot an angle at "Poker Dick" and got him to muck his cards by faking that he was mucking on the river. The floor was quickly called over and the pot wound up being pushed to "Poker Dick". Almost everyone at the table, including the dealer agreed that this was bad poker edicate. Only the eight seat and a young man in the four seat thought it was ok. The eight seat went as far as telling the floor that it was part of the game. I couldn't disagree more!! Stuff like this makes poker no longer fun to play. What do my readers think of conduct like this? It turns out that the eight seat is eighty sixed from multiple Las Vegas cardrooms for similar behavior. What a jerk he is. At first I thought he was funny, until his true side came out. Was so glad the pot was awarded to it's proper owner, eventhough he didn't have cards in front of him. This was one of the few bad experiences I had in Vegas. I will write about one other bad thing that happened this week. That's it for tonight, good luck at the tables. Tony
