Recently I was in a live tournament at a casino that I usually go to. Im in MP and I look down at KTo. I have a decent amount and open with a standard raise and get called by a slightly shortstacked older man on the button.
The flop comes up something pretty dry like Q 4 3 rainbow and I was deciding whether or not I should just shove to hopefully get him to fold out. I wanted to know how much of my stack would be lost if he called and won so I asked for a chip count. The man gets pretty offended and starts going off on me(im 20 years old i dont know if that made it worse or not) saying things like, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HOW MUCH JUST MAKE A BET! RAR RAR RARRRARAARAR"
The dealer counts it for me and i figure that it's too much for me to risk so I check and the old man goes 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? ALL THAT AND YOU CHECK?!" then shoves, i fold and he slams his cards on the table showing QQ for a set.
I couldn't believe that he reacted that way and I was always told that you're allowed to ask players how much and the dealer has to count it for you. Is asking for a count one of those things that are allowed but not supposed to be done at a live table(like asking a player who mucks their cards at showdown to show)?
