hi everybody, i hope you can give me some insight on something that happened to me at a table tonight. I had been playing at a 1/3 nl for about four hours and was playing okay, but I was getting tired and ready to leave. I'm coming to be sort of a regular in the room, and the casino is new to the area. Anyways, I was dealt AK off suit under the gun and raised to 12. After two callers, a fourth raised to 60. It was folded around to me, and wanting to leave winning put me in a tough spot. I thought for a while and, on a frustrated whim, tossed my cards face up onto the table, exposing my folded cards. The dealer said that it was a "huge deal" and explained why, and I told him I didn't know any better. It's not that I didn't really, but I just didn't think at all about the people that had yet to act behind me. I got up and left immediately afterward, partly out of embarrassment, and partly because I was ready to leave anyway. My question is, how big of a deal is it, really? Can you get kicked out for doing it? I felt like I was doing the right think by excusing myself from the table right away. I sure felt dumb.
