I was just in a wednesday night poker game and I just cashed out without playing. Here is what happened: I paid the bank 100 dollars for chips and he gave me 100 dollars of chips. He counted it once to give to me and I counted it twice once he gave it to me. I set my chips down and went to take a piss. There were two guys in the room when I left and the same two when I returned. When I came back I had 90 dollars in chips. I counted it three times to check. The guy next to me was missing fifteen dollars when he came back and he was not one of the two guys in the room when I left. So I ask the two guys if they touched my chips, because I know there was 100 dollars of chips there when I went to take a piss. They get really pissy and one of them in particular says to me "the guys next to you is missing fifteen dollars so quit your b****ing". I could tell he thought he was a tough guy so I told him "don't Fcku with me a=shlole, I am not stupid, the boogieman didn't take my chips. If you didn't take them then just say you didn't and don't get fckuing pissy about it " and then the bouncer of the game showed up and noticed the ruckus and asked that I be thrown out. On the way out this guy's friend was saying "that's right get out b****". I know they took my chips. I was ****ing livid. I sat outside of the game waiting for them for about half and hour then went home. Am I a jackass for taking the bait? What would have been a better way to handle this situation? I know there was a better way. Please tell me what it was.
Yes...... yes you are. Lesson? next time you have to pee, and you're not amongst friends, take your f-ing chips with you. Otherwise, your begging to get taken. I remember playing strip poker back in college, and this one idiot girl went to the bathroom twice, at which time we made sure she had the losing hand. Learn from it, and be happy it was only $10. They could've taken it all. (and BTW, I wouldn't have taken it, but there are too many a-holes that would, and you simply can't be that trusting when gambling.)
Damn, that sucks man. You should've just waited longer for them to come back out and take the ten dollars out of their faces. Pricks.
umm... I should make the point that I did actually recieve 100 dollars back from the bank because I would not have left without it. I paid 100 for chips and I didn't play a single hand so I better ****ing walking out there with the same amount of money otherwise the bank better learn how to count. That wasn't the issue. I was just wondering what would have been a better way to handle the guys who I know took my chips without looking like the guy who got thrown out because he was too aggressive.
That sucks. Sorry to hear that. Take your chips where ever you go from now on, unless you are with some of your buddies. There are too many pricks out there.
Thanks Panda, I know you and I haven't always agreed in past in particular over the Rocket's small forward position, but it was nice to have a vote of confidence from you because I know you pay attention. The thing is, and alluding to uprising, is that I would have taken my chips, but they had just been dealt and there fore the game had not even started so there is no way they could have been played. So I would have expected an idiot to have jacked chips after the game has started so that there might be some confusion. Yes the bank did give me trouble at first, but no I am not a mob guy. I simply explained that I haven't played a single ****ing hand and if they didn't give me all my money back I would take it out of their liquor cabinet on the way out. So they were glad to see me go peacefully. But I know there was something better I could have said that would have made me seem more in control of the situation. Or maybe not. Maybe I was just dealing with assholes and did the right thing. I mean I know I am a jackass, and I know I am sensitive to insult. But I just felt like chip stealing was a little too far and might have justified an ass beating. Is that wrong? Because I know I am going to see these fools again. I am just curious what the BBS thinks of this. Was I the jackass (he asks expecting the answer yes) or was I justified?
I would have waited until they came out, so the rage only built up. Then I would have bashed their faces in with a crowbar.
Here here. They certainly sound like the kind of guys that can only understand a beating. You're right, stealing is over the line. And what's the best possible alternative? Win the money back? I mean there's only so many ways one can respond to indirectly being called a b**** by a ****ing two-bit thief. I applaud you.
I contemplated it but I have been working on my anger management lately and I was really trying not to cause a scene. But when that guy, who was only 19 by the way, told me to quit b****ing I just ****ing lost it. But I did have the restraint to just walk away which I am glad about. But I was upset that I didn't get to play. At least I still have my money this morning. Now that it is the next morning I realize that I should have actually caused more of a problem. I will see these two jackasses again though because they live very close to me. Until then.
Dude, Only play with friends or on Vegas. You got your money back, you learned a lesson...move on. DD
Next time..........chips in one hand and your willie in the other........glad you got your money back
Your rest your cigar on the chips. Flash your pearl-handled six-shooter, and inform everyone that if the ashes fall before you get back...
Please tell me your not one of those tough guys with the attitude who walks around with a chip on his shoulder 100% of the time. Maybe that is where your missing chip is? I've run into many people over my lifetime who feel the only way to settle something is by beating up something or someone. When their not threatening to beat someone up, their walking around like their the greatest living person on the face of the Earth. It's great to be strong and muscular and all of these things(lol) but when it goes to one's head and gets to one's ego then I believe it makes one superficial and difficult to be around. I think all of you have known someone in your lifetimes who fits that bill as your classic "tough guy". I'm not saying LeGrouper fits the mold cause I don't really know him. I don't care if he is or not. I think it can get one in trouble. Next time you meet up with these guys and get the urge to kick their ass all over the place because your probably big and you can, then think about what they may do to retaliate or get back at you. You may even go to jail. Or, worse, they may just decide to shoot you. Then, all of whatever feelings you had about how you know your tougher than both of them put together and can kick their ass won't matter cause you will be laid up in a hospital or, worse, dead. I think that the stronger you are the more you have to keep your anger and attitude in check because it will get you into volatile circumstances with consequences. If your already trying to control your anger management, then it sounds like you have experienced something like this before.
