but ultimately, this discussion is on etiquette ... a philosophical difference in play is fine ... i'm just not seeing the bad etiquette part of this ... but having said that - if that is part of the etiquette of your playing group - i completely understand ...

etiquette is folding out of turn...

There were two players one time in a tourney at the Stone that would keep doing this. I was sitting to their right so I liked it.

Happens all the time. Let the dealer clean that shit up.

i'd call them out on it. pretty sure we have all done it once or twice by accident...but to do it consitantly and on purpose....you're getting a call out.

They were called out but I didn't say a word. I also think they lasted about 35 minutes before they were both gone so it didn't matter. And yes, I've accidentally folded out of turn before. I'm sure everyone has at one or another.

I've done that a couple times. Feel like a real jackass when it happens!

I've also tossed my cards in as to fold, and have had them flip up a couple of times. The dealer and the rest of the table aren't too fond of that one! :oops:

my favourite is when a guy goes into full on thinking mode only to say "oh, is it my turn" after like 5 mins ...

Or the antsy bet.
It's not even the guy's turn and he's already putting in a raise.

Oh...in that case...I fold!

Interesting story. I was playing a tourney at the Sahara and it was myself and only one other player in the hand. I don't really remember the cards but somehow I ended up all in on the flop. He sat and stared at me for mayber 30 seconds and then turned his cards over before calling or folding. I have never experienced that before. He eventually folded but that was some scarey wild west poker type shit:?

The last home game I played in real life was a complete train wreck. People folding out of turn the whole time and every time the flop came out people thought they were Lon McEachern and would say, "Possible straight" or "Possible flush". Shut the fuck up!!! Maybe people don't see it!

I've gotten into pretty heated arguments with people about talking about the hand when someone is all in. One time I was in a hand with a complete fish who was doing to me what bestdeal did to Speedy all weekend and he was about to fold, literally was in the process of throwing his hand away, when someone talked him into staying in the hand. Things were....awkward to say the least after that hand.

That is fucking funny. Everyone sitting at the table with their wheels spinning thinking"what does he have? Is my hand good? What's he thinking about?" and after all that he was just fucking zoning out.

I hate the long stare-downs. The last time I was in Vegas this creepy guy would stare down everyone who raised him. I got the stare down twice by this guy. I didn't even know where to look when he was doing it. I'd peek up from time to time to see if he was actually doing anything, but it was really uncomfortable. Both times he did that he apparently read me wrong.

Or the asshole who folds pre-flop only to get really mad when the flop is shown. "Uh, I knew I shouldn't have folded". C'mon guy....you just told the entire table what you just put down!!!

Oh I know that but I never before or have since had someone flip their cards over like that before the hand was settled. I fully expected after the hand was over for Mel Gibson dressed as Maverick to come out and start shooting people.

I actually do that sometimes just to stir things up. :shifty:

Since we're talking about etiquette and pet peeves...

At home games:
I hate the guy who makes change out of my bet without showing or telling you what he's doing first.
You shall not wear sunglasses to a home game under any circumstance.
Cell phones off the table! I don't care if someone looks at his phone while not playing but leave it in your f'n pocket!
Don't ask to see what I have once you folded. I'll show you if I want to show you.
Don't bend the f'n cards! I'm not saying a real "bend" as in crease but the guys who will bend the corner of their cards back to see what their hands are. It fucks up the cards and truly guy...nobody is going to look at what you got.
Because you can interlace your chips with one hand doesn't mean you should do it the entire fuckin' game!
If you can't deal without a card flipping over, maybe you shouldn't try to be so fancy. Sure enough, the guy will toss me a card, it'll flip over and 9 times out of 10 it'll be an ace. - Re-shuffle! F!
Stop being so f'n serious. It's a game, have some f'n fun!

And don't ask me to deal out the rest of the hand (i.e. turn and river) if everyone has folded at the flop. One person I played with always did this. I think it can only be bad for you. If you find out you wouldn't have gotten the hand yippee and if you hit the hand you were worried about hitting that will only make you play more hands in the future you shouldn't be playing.
