Have you ever been in a fight in a live poker game? How was it?

Ive been twice and both times was because one of the players was laughing when at the other, was kind of fun lol.

Only once I remember, a lot of heated words exchanged many times but @ the Borgata in Antlantic City on night. Guy across from me was drunk and belligerent, and had been arguing with the guy to his right.

That soon escalated to Drunk guy throwing fists to the guy he was arguing with, and a bunch of players grabbing or covering their chips (depending on how many they had). Security came and walked the drunk guy out.

Was glad it ended quick as was the table.

just missed one once
sitting in between two guys who, as soon as I left, went at it
it was a Saturday night. Monday morning at work....
one guy is missing, one guy has stitches on his face, the guy who tried to break it up is limping, and all I could think was.....glad I missed it, I was in between that first punch

Not in a poker game,only had a couple and they pushed and pushed....and pushed,then copped it.More of a spiritual fighter.God is the strength of my arm and the arm of my strength,for that i hope to be eternally thankful.

There are a lot of players who behave badly at a poker table, but I never got into trouble.

Luckily, I have never been at a table when an altercation turned physical. Witnessed many verbal abuse occurrences, but no actual fighting.

I saw this one drink dude making fun of the short stack (the drunk dude was pretty deep) this was a tournament, the short stack had enough, got up from his chair and knocked the drunk out of his chair, immediately the short stack got back to his seat and started playing the next hand like nothing happened.
