Last night at the local bar league I sometimes go to I did something that I felt I was the right thing to do. If I'm in the wrong, obviously, I don't want to do it again. I understand its poker in a bar, but if I'm in the wrong I want to know.
final table, 8 players left. BB moves all in after the flop, folds around to the SB with a mountain of chips, who calls. BB is the selfproclaimed bar league pro who is loud, loves to drink Crown and used to help run the game we play in. He acts like he owns the joint and is a mediocre player. That and he's 33/4 kids/divoced/had 2 heart attacks due to a bad valve (or the 5th of crown and 2 packs a day)/looks like a reject from a Lynrd Skynrd cover band with the hat and bad ponytail. oh yeah....he lives with his mom to top it all off.
Basically once the cards are out, there were 4 hearts on the board. BB had 2 pair, K's and J's. The small blind had Ace of hearts for the flush and a smaller pair. SB thought he lost, mainly because the dickface who was the BB gave a fist pump, a shout and started more of his chatter while attempting to rake the pot. SB started to shove his chips to the BB, then I casually, not even above a normal speaking level, from across the table just said... " Um, don't you have a flush?"
The BB flips his shit. Pointing his finger at me. Getting really loud. "You can't do that!!!!" WTF, you're outta line. Standard bad beat anger directed towards the donk who just knocked him out. Well then verbal sparing takes place by the SB and the BB and everything kept coming back to me on how I was in the wrong. The SB is one of those guys who used to run a card room and knows all the rules, but yet didn't see his own flush, but sided with me not being in the wrong. Basically, the BB who got knocked out of the game was the only one who thought I was wrong.
My reply was... The entire table saw the flush, except for you two. Cards speak and he had the flush, thus winning the hand. Then the guy to my right pipes up with...."not like you paid anything to get in this game anyhow its free bar poker, let it go man."
I then see him still seething a solid 10-15 minutes later talking to his buddies looking over their shoulders at me. I nearly waved to them, but thought better of it since it is free fake money poker, no reason to stir the pot.
I busted out in 6th when I got crippled by a call from another guy who was in the blinds who called my all in with A/2 spades and hit the river flush to beat my 2 Q's.
