Admit it, you didn't think I had any ethical standards!<br /><br />But Bob was outed on his own blog, and besides, he's retired now, giving up his wild and reckless days for a life of domestic tranquility.

As I s...Thanks very much for commenting, Michelle. As I said in a tweet to Jen, I wish I had remembered more of the great conversation we had, especially at that first table, I know it was a lot of fun and a great group, but all I could seem to remember the next day was Newt, other than being Grumped by Mitzula. So I wasn't really sure when I had busted you with my awesome KQ off to your pocket Jacks! Sorry about that.<br /><br />Now you're really pricked my interest with the "alcohol induced vulgar comment" comment. Michelle, I invite you to do a guest post here where you come clean. After all, this blog is all about salacious "woman said" stories. You could be the new Prudence, since she's in semi-retirement. Or perhaps the next "Natalee." No one reads this blog anyway! :)<br /><br />Of course, you've already revealed your real name, which I frown away from on this blog. But it's ok, a surprising number of otherwise respectable women aren't worried about their reputations being ruined by appearing here!<br /><br />I think if the guy had done what you had suggested, it might not have sat well with the other players, no? I mean just randomly giving his chips to another player.....although I've seen guys who wanted to leave shove with garbage just cuz they wanted to leave. And of course often they suck out. So it is kind of random who they eventually give all their chips to.<br /><br />Or...as you say, it could all be a very clever strategy!<br /><br />Hope to see you at the tables soon. It was fun!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-42546907917618809522013-02-11T11:24:12.146-08:002013-02-11T11:24:12.146-08:00You reveled Poker Grump's real name?

I wished when you shoved that he would have just put his chips in the middle, then politely mucked his cards and THEN said "sorry, I gotta go". That would have been the courteous way to go. *sigh*<br /><br />I've seen it too many times in a cash games.<br />" I'm just going all-in cause I have to leave" (gf, wife, plane, etc), only for them to double up a few times (staying way past when they 'had to leave by') and raping the table in the process - to then start actually playing when the table noticed that they started folding alot, but no longer seemed in a rush. <br />Is this a new "poker personality"?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314065046123965595noreply@blogger.com
