Playing at Tropicana on Saturday, this 80 year old guy rolls into my limit game on a wheelchair. Apparently he is some kind of super regular as he knows all the dealers by name and got greetings from a couple of other players at other tables.I should have switched tables right then as he slowed the game down to an absolute crawl. The guy was deaf and was slipping in and out of a coma at the table. He literally had to be waken up on every street and reminded that he was in the hand, at which point it would take him a minute recheck his cards again and another minute to pick up his chips. One hand got absolutely ridiculous, when I got pocket QQ and flashed them to to my buddy next to me who folded preflop. The old guy sees me do this and starts yelling that it was against the rules, that "show one show all" was in effect and I had to show my hand. I replied that yes, I will show my cards when the hand was over, but apparently the guy wanted me to SHOW EVERYBODY MY CARDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HAND! Me and the dealer were both speechless, and the floor got called over who was equally perplexed. I flip over the QQ at showdown, which lost to the old man's turned A, but he went on for about a minute afterwards on how "rules were rules" and that I "shouldn't be allowed in the room" with that kind of behavior. Then he had to nerve to ask me "where do you deal?" At first I wasn't sure what he was asking, but then asked "which casino do you deal at?" Apparently because I'm Asian I cannot possibly get a job anywhere except dealing at casinos, and the guy wanted to call my workplace to report me. I guess I should have been glad he didn't toss me a red chip and order a massage or some General Tso's chicken at the table. I was about to flip the racist bastard's wheelchair over.

I am gonna risk getting flamed here but I gotta ask...You showed your hand to someone else at the table? In the middle of a hand? When he was still to act? Maybe I am naive but is that not parallel to collusion?

Ok, the way I read it was that his buddy folded once he showed him the hand.

1. You shouldn't have shown your hand to anyone at the table, regardless of whether or not that person was your friend.2. The ruling should go with precedent (i.e. whatever the Tropicana has done in shown-card situations before should be done again). In my opinion you should have to show your hand after the hand was over, but if the Tropicana has ruled differently in the past, it should rule the same way again.3. Sweet and sour chicken with white meat, please.

First off, "flashing" your hand to your friend is essentially collusion, and anyone at the table has the right to protest and the floor manager to impose whatever penalty the Tropicana has.Second, it is not clear to me how your race figured in this old guy mistaking you for a dealer, unless it was something racist like "you people all look alike" that led to the confusion. In that case, I agree with you, it is ****ed up. Third, it is highly ironic that you choose the screenname "sushiman" and then complain about someone making comments that are barely if at all racist. That's like Robert Blake using the screenname "triggerman" andthen complaining that people blame him for killing his wife.
