Weirdest thing you saw in a Poker Room?

[ChipEaterMan]

The weirdest thing I saw in a poker room was when an argentinian poker pro player took a peek to another player's hole cards while she stood up to stretch her legs waiting for his decision in the hand. She previously asked to the croupier for permission to stand up. The weirdest thing is that it was the final table of the most important tourney in argentina, first place took $1milion $ARS, and there was a videocamera filming him the whole time.
Here's the video!:

What's up with those cards?!?! They are all bowed and warped. They couldn't get a fresh set up for the main event?

I play games at pubs/clubs and hotels not really poker rooms but i did see this chain of events unfold and it was rather amusing.
I used to play a game once a week small Tournament maybe two tables great fun because we knew each other's style so the change up was effective anyways this couple used to play they always sat opposite each other and they always argued like cats and dogs, She put deodorant on at the table and he's when right off and i supported him because the shit got in my drink and ruined it, He did warn her he had a little something he found lying around there house that she had misplaced WTF anyways the next week he just sat there waiting never said a word to piggirl patient barstud, eventually she bet him and her re raised "All in he exclaimed" and tossed a dildo into the pot, everyone cracked up except piggirl she turned red and left staring daggers dagger's at her husband, Interesting times at home after that no doubt, never sighted either player since. That one i will never forget

What happens at the end of the video? Does he get eliminated or disqualified? I can't understand Spanish if that's what there speaking, easier to ask than waste my time trying to work it out.

If we're going with casino poker rooms, then I saw this at a table next to mine one Friday night:

Would've been a 2/3 table with what looked like mostly regs at it. There were a couple of guys in particular who had won a bunch, had somewhere between $800 and $1000 each in front of them.

A couple of seats open up and these two guys sit down - obviously mates, obviously drunk, and obviously completely clueless about how to play poker. They buy in and order massive drinks. The regs at the table know a good mark when they see one and start chatting to these guys, being all friendly, welcoming them to the game, etc.

Over the space of the next 20 minutes, the two drunk guys go on a crazy run and proceed to bust pretty much the whole table. Most of the players don't end up rebuying, the table breaks and the drunk guys walk off up well over $1500. One of the guys who was a big stack gets moved to my table, with just a few hundred left, and proceeds to pout for the rest of the night.​

If we're going with private venues that I've dealt poker at though, then that's a different matter. This one is a personal favourite though:

Had a day where I had to deal two separate, completely unrelated bucks parties. One in the afternoon, one in the evening. At both events, the buck turns up wearing the Borat mankini, shoes and socks and nothing else.

The first one was pretty standard bucks party fare, strippers, booze, etc.

The second party, however, was on a boat and the whole lot of them had been at the football drinking all day. The buck was having trouble keeping himself inside his mankini, which was... unfortunate, to say the least. I had some clown decide the best way to get from one side of the boat to the other was to walk up and over the poker table. One of them decided he was too wasted to read his cards, so he had the stripper play for him. And one of the guys was too drunk to work his iPhone (this was a few years ago, when they'd just come out and were particularly expensive) so he bashed it against the bar until the screen broke then threw it in the river.

Ended up closing the tables early, hiding out on the back deck of the boat, and just being happy to make it off in one piece when we docked ​

That didn't happen to be the "poker room" above a buffalo wild wings did it?

No, it wasn't above a B-dubs. It was actually a side room connected to a bar called Legends in Fort Wayne, IN. It was winter of 08 if I remember correctly. And no, he didn't go to jail or anything. Just left and was told never to come back. Never saw him again after that.

I was playing in a casino in West Virginia. I was playing 2/5 NL. This guy had blood coming through his shirt. Apparently he had some sort of tube that fell out of something. It was odd just to see blood everywhere...Gross too.

Which casino was you at?

 

[fordman427]

Was the guy in the video disqualified?

 

[ChipEaterMan]

Was the guy in the video disqualified?

Yes, he was disqualified. At the end of the video you can see how the tournament organizer calls him, the villain stands up, and end of the tourney for him. I think he was the short stack of the table. They told me he couldn't return to the table but he cashed the 9th prize.

Hey, can you use punctuation next time? Could you also put some consideration into formatting? Thanks!

When I get this hand "oh f***" goes through my head

I was playing a local tournament at my local card room. I limped in with Q9o blinds 200/400 i had about 12k. Guy next to me shoves, goes around the table and everyone folds. Now it's on me to act, and the all in player throws his cards into the muck!!! wtf! I'm still left to act and I say "I call" and he starts freaking out saying I was hiding my cards and that he had a good hand.

After a couple mins, we call over the tournament director for a ruling. He says an all in hand can't be mucked and asks the guy what he had. Then he allows him to fish through the mucked cards and pull of his 7h7d hand, and I was forced to call off still and ended up busting that hand as he had me covered by 500 chips. I was very tilted here since I only called assuming his hand was dead and the pot would be mine given a normal ruling.

fml.

Not that crazy, but still awesome...

Effective stacks are about $300 in a 1/2 NL live game. CO is a really LAG but skilled player. BTN is a tight reg who basically shows up every night, sits down, reads a book, and waits for monsters - overall a weak player.

CO raises to $15. BTN calls. Heads up to the flop.

I don't remember exactly what it was, but the flop was King high. Both check quickly.

Turn comes. Both check quickly.

River comes. LAG player bets $50. BTN proclaims "CALL" instantly. Both flip over QJo for Queen high and chop it.

LAG player looks around and says "That's the sickest poker I've ever seen."

I used to run charity tournaments once a week. Still have some, but not as often.

Saw a guy get Billy Jacked after running his mouth {google Billy Jack...I'm gonna put this foot on that side of your face, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it"}

One of my dealers tried to cheat....at chip up time, he decided he would give his friend an extra 5,000 tournament chips. I determined the player had no involvement...But the dealer, he was lucky to get out alive.

In another tournament, we get to the final table. The ten minute built in break was just about to start. The tables we used were tables with foldable legs. The guy on the end of the table was the last to stand, and he was huge....6'5" 300lbs....he puts his hands on the edge of table, gives it a shove...the legs on the other side fold under and all chips...from 9 players...hit the floor! We managed to get it all straightened out, to everyones surprise. I drilled locks into the legs the next day.

Some years ago, when I was playing 1/2 NL some drunk young guys came into the cardroom to play poker. There was only one seat left and one of the drunken guys sat down with $48. We played a while fullring... after 1 hour the guy stood up and left the casino with $945. This was epic, facing the fact he left with the words "you all thought i'm drunk as hell and made the worst calls on dangerous flops i've ever seen. nearly all you decisons against me were -EV. i still wish you a nice game"
