One of the guys in my poker club posted this on our site and I thought I would share it.

Here is a lesson in poker for everyone to know and understand.

a little backround first........ It is 6:00 am at caesars in indiana, I have been playing for about 18hrs straight at this point. Villain comes in drunk sitting to my left. He is very young 21 at best but looks 17 or 18. He smells of beer, not incoherent and mildly entertaining at first. After a few more beers he becomes increasingly intolerable. Basically he wont shut up, which is affecting everyones ability to concentrate. He doubles his $100 dollar buy in two plus times putting him at about $490. From there it went like this. game is $1-2 NL

Hero (ChAW) on button with 6♣8[/clubs
UTG staddles for $4 this is only of importance because villain does not know of the straddle. After three consecutive straddles on his small blind the villain gets aggravated with the straddler. He takes it personally that this guy straddles every time he is UTG. So anyways 5 players in the hand preflop raise was minimal $12.00 or $15.00 I dont remember
there is about $100 in pot befor flop of5♥9♦Q♠ small blind checks and the table follows
Turn comes4♠
NOTE- small blind is talking smack to UTG about his straddle the whole time and it is obvious he knows nothing about it so UTG is just smiling and trying to ignore this Idiot.
After the turn card comes the small blind looks at UTG and says "I put you all in Mr straddler, what are you gonna do know big guy yadda yadda yadda it doesnt stop. UTG is obviously annoyed and pissed but folds none the less. Villain is overjoyed with his bold move of $400 into a $100.00 pot and is still ranting at the UTG
5th seat folds
7th seat folds
Small blind is so extatic he does the unthinkable. He threw his hand into the muck
Meanwhile I still had my 6♣8♣ sitting under a chip in plain sight in front of him
UTG looks at chaw and says if I were you I would call right here.
Chaw looks at the villain says "SORRY DUDE" and calls
Villain is in a severe state of confusion/tilt and is trying to understand his huge error
Here is the poetry of the moment - dealer still must run the river card in order to declare the hand over
dealer turns the 7♠ nailing my gutshot draw for the straight.

Normally under these circumstances I would have probably let an accidental muck slide and I would have folded, but I wanted him and his obnoxious ass gone. He was beligerant and stupid. Not to mention sitting in my left ear messing up my concentration on the game. Everyone at the table agreed it was the right thing to do.
Lesson - understand the rules of the game before you sit down to gamble your money away.
and DONT be an ******* or even worse a drunk *******

Easiest $600 bucks I ever Won.

Here is another one from the same thread.
These guys play very good and are lots of fun.

lol. I loved it when Craig told us that story!! Frenchie and I laughed our asses off.

Being an ass at a casino can definitely get you busted. Remember the kid who went out 43rd in the 2005 Main Event and cried on national TV? Yep, I got to play with Gahanna's own Adam Friedman at Caesar's Indiana this weekend, and man is that guy a prick. It's about midnight and I'm playing in a really tight 2/5 game. The next table over has this wild 2/5 game and one of the guys at that table says "John, you should be in this game!" Another player at the table says "Hey buddy, want to trade?" and I jump at the chance. Sitting at that table are three guys from the New Albany game plus Adam Friedman. I drive 4 hours to play with guys from my home game!!!

Anyway, Friedman had gotten sucked out on a couple times and lost some big pots before I got there. He was totally on tilt and basically giving his money away. Within the 20 minutes I sat there his stack dropped from $2000 to zero. Busted with him bitching the whole way about how bad we all played.

About 30 minutes later I walk by the 5/10 game and Freidman is sitting there with a huge stack, probably $3000. An hour after that I walk by and the seat is empty. I asked one of the players where Friedman went, and he told me Friedman busted, ruined a deck and left. Ruined a deck?? Turns out when he lost he crumped his cards and threw them into the muck. (Yep, he's an ass.)

So here's the punch line to the story. The next day I was playing with one of the guys from that 5/10 game. He was saying what a crazy weekend it had been. He and his buddies even put a bounty on someone. "There was this ass sitting at our table, complaining about everyone's play. So some other players and I decided to put a $75 bounty on him. After Adam found out about it, he got pretty pissed." So I said, "Adam Friedman??" Adam went even more on tilt and it was just a matter of time before he got stacked.

Yep, it doesn't pay to be a **** at a poker game.

Sad stories both, but the bottom line is:
Both are adults, and there is (thankfully) no law against being a donkey.

Fun casino donkey story from me:

I was playing 3/6 with a kill to 6/12 Omaha/8 at the Majestic Star in IN a couple weekends ago and a guy sat down to play and proceded to:
*Try to buy in from the table only to learn that the first buy-in had to be made from the cage
*Have O8 explained to him by the guy on his right (who at this point was a known average O8 donkey)
*Take his first 4 cards and pull them off the table into his chest and then hold them on his lap (he pulled them off about 50% of the time for the first 10 hands before figuring out how to keep them on the table)
*Limped into the first couple of hands

At this point I could have used a napkin or a rag to clean up the slobber on the table from my drooling waiting to get this guy's money. My buddy was sitting on my left and I came up with a prop bet for him. The new guy bought in for $100 and I bet my buddy $5 that he'd be busted before the button got to him the 3rd time (basically within ~22 hands).

After one go around the table he had made it to showdown all but 1 or 2 times, hadn't one a hand, and was under $40. When he was almost at the felt and had ~$20, I had a hand that raised PF and my buddy re-raised on my left for the sole purpose to drive out the donkey (classic!). Unfortunately for my buddy he called, but more unfortunately for me he ended up all-in and caught half the pot so was back up to ~$40.

The guy rebought eventually but we kept the spirit of the bet to be when he lost his original $100. With 2 more hands before the button hit him he was down to under $10 on his original bet. Sure enough, he limps, gets 5-way action, check/calls all the way to the river, & scoops a ~$60 pot

I lost my side bet, but the guy ended up donking out the $160 he bought in. I wasn't able to get as much as I hoped but at least he was giving it to other people at the table that I knew I could beat.

I think this will become a tradition for me though --- it's a blast to lay a bet that someone's going to lose 1/2BB+ PER HAND and then watch as it happens.
