What To Do With Rude People

First, I can't believe it has been so long since I posted anything.  Oops.  Not much has been happening until lately however.  I took a 3-way split of first place in the $115 Sunday tournament at the Moose and another 3-way split of first place in the $65 deepstack at the Island Casino last night.

At the final table Nick was the huge chip leader with over 50% of the chips in play and he was aggressive.  I finally just got tired of him raising my big blind all the time & went all in with A-3 suited in spades after yet another raise.  He called with K-Q offsuit.  I hit a 3 on the flop which would have been enough, but also hit a flush on the turn which sealed the deal.  His meltdown began and he started becoming a smart ass.

When we were down to 5 players, I jokingly said "suck out" at the end of a hand, and Nick said, "She wouldn't even be here if it weren't for all her suck outs."  I did not respond.  A few hands later, Nick went all in with 5-5 and another guy (Ken I think) called him with 9-9.  Nick "sucked out" hitting a five and knocked Ken out, who left the tabling saying to Nick that he shouldn't ever talk about other people sucking out and Nick started calling him an idiot for calling in the first place (with a better hand) and I really thought a fight might break out sooner or later.  It was just ridiculous.  Nick also said the "f" bomb a few times.

Where were the dealers?  Not really to be found.  They tried, but were pretty uneffective.  No one was at all upset when Nick finally went out in 4th and after a while we chopped.  Honestly, there are some people who deserve to be pulled from a tournament for the way they act.  The lack of manners in the modern world is simply deplorable. 

Glad to be able to rant.
