1/? Weird poker rules/etiquette situation @MiragePoker yesterday. Let’s do a thread. Our cast:
“Grumpy”: Obnoxious older man (not me) whose comments drove 3 players from the game. Also, cut off from drinks.
“Happy”: New player (also not me), been recipient of Grumpy’s comments.

2/ Game is 1/2 NLHE. Happy raises in early position to $12. Folds to Grumpy who holds his cards w/ arm extended out towards dealer, says “I’m all in on that!” just as he flips his cards to dealer who mucks them. Happy asks dealer if Grumpy is all-in. Floor gets called. Ruling?

3/ Floor ruled Grumpy is all-in. Grumpy has ~$450. Folds to Happy who goes all-in for $300. If you’re in Happy’s shoes, do you let Grumpy off the hook?

4/ Happy offers to let Grumpy off the hook for $150. If you’re in Grumpy’s shoes, do you accept?

5/ Grumpy turns down a $150 buyout, after trying to counteroffer at $100. Floor tells Grumpy he has to put $300 in the pot or he’ll be banned from the Mirage poker room and likely all MGM properties. If you’re in Grumpy’s shoes, do you pay the $300?

6/6 Grumpy refused to pay, cashed out, and got to meet a couple of Mirage security officers as he left the poker room. Mirage poker room manager handled the whole situation calmly and professionally. Just a really weird and awkward situation.

Replying to @Grange95
Voted with the majority in all but the last one. If I'm Grumpy and I'm already angle-shooting and kind of a dick then yeah, what do I need MGM for, I'll just cash out. He shouldn't be given that option.

Oddly, in Nevada, if you stiff the casino on a marker it’s a felony. If you stiff a poker player ...
