1.) It wouldn't matter unless it was a huge buy-in because the principle is worth more than the buy-in.2.) Grow a pair Nancy! (sw) If you don't stand up for yourself then people are going to bust your nuts all the time.

If it was HU and not a lot of his friends were still around I might have hit him...but I don't want to run the risk of him pressing charges...wait, we were at an illegal poker game...I should have hit him!

Even though I may have punched the guy it wouldn't be the right thing to do. By walking out and showing class they will feel guilty about it especially over a $20 game. You will always look like the good guy by walking out, I would take the a$$hole route knowing I would never play with these guys again.You did the right thing.

Are you kidding? No they won't. They have the cash, what difference does it make now? Obviously they didn't feel bad enough to give him his money back, did they. At some point they decided he wasn't likely to do much about it, or they never would have thought they could get away with it in the first place. If he seemed like the kind of guy who might blow up and beat them to a bloody pulp for messing with him, they wouldn't have even considered it. To a predatory lowlife, "good guy" = "sucker" = "deserves to be taken for everything he's got." I'm sorry you got burned, but if you associate with scumbags and don't stand up for yourself, you're basically asking for it.Getting as far away from these losers as possible is the best option..

It was only $20 I didn't care about the cash, it was the principle of it all. All I really wanted was the host or someone other than me to give him a tounge lashing for his unethical behavior at the table. The thing that sux is it was a good card game to get out of the house on a Monday night. Now I won't go back and have to sit at home and watch movies with my girlfriend on Monday nights

I can't stand players who do this crap. Once, in a tourney, I held K-Q with a Queen high flop. Other guy pushes all-in and I reach for my chips to see what I'd have left and he says "Kings". I looked at him and said "I didn't call anything yet." So he then says "Oh crap, I'm sorry" as if he unintentionally acted out of turn.I should have made him show his hand after calling it, but I didn't. So I muck my hand thinking I'm beat and he flips over Jacks. Needless to say I was pretty annoyed, especially since I was friendly with this guy. He's actually a good player and I lost a ton of respect for him and his game after pulling such a bullshit move. I've seen him use it a few other times as well on tables I wasn't playing at, but was watching.I know this is a little different from what happened to you, but it's just a shitty a move. Just remember to never take a guy's word for what he's holding if he has to show it to you anyway. Sometimes people misread or forget their hand and will declare it is better than it is. Happened to me just the other night. Thought I had 2 pair and didn't. It happens, and you don't want to muck your cards until you know they beat you.

Don't play with those people any more.

Just smile, and say "nice hand, well played." Wait for him outside after the game wraps and tear him a new <EDITED FOR GRAPHIC CONTENT>. Let him keep the money he "won" in that pot and call it even.

As I said in an earlier post, he is on my dart team and we play tomorrow. I'll see what he has to say, if I don't like it a dart might slip...oppps, sorry kid, I had corn on the cob today and that dart just slipped outta my hand

As everyone else has said.....this is REALLY weak and shady play. I've done this before too, but just in a joking manner. The other guy in the pot mucked his hand and I, knowing my J high obviously wasn't good, flipped my hand over, laughed, and pushed him the pot. I obviously wouldn't do this against strangers/at a casino/in a "real" buy-in tourney. I play in these $20 buy-in "friendly" tournies all the time around here (i live in a college town, so there's alot of them) and the $100-200 1st place prize does seem to mean alot more to certain people than others. GL finding a new home game.

that happened to me at least 20 times at the pendleton roundup last fall, I must have wasted a good 15 minutes of my life over 2 weeks waiting for some jackass to stop tapping the table and show his "2-pair" It had hardly ever happened to me before, and hardly ever happened since, but it was some type of epidemic that month or something.
