How not to play poker

[Yossarian]

I was playing hold em at Hustler Casino in Gardena CA last night. They serve food table-side so I ordered a delicious cheeseburger. They have little rolling side trays so it's not as disgusting as you might think, unless you're one of the slobs who eats buffalo wings with the same hand they handle their chips and cards with.

The ketchup bottle, one of those glass Heinz numbers with the white metal cap, was about 1/3 full and kind of runny looking inside. So I shook it up for a few seconds after making sure the cap was on tight. I opened it and POP the cap exploded off the bottle and ketchup sprayed my shirt and pants. I thought "WTF!!!" My back was to the poker table, so I turned around to survey the damage. Asian guy to my right--jacket hanging on the back of his chair, covered in ketchup. Guy across the table from us--caught a good amount of shrapnel. Table with new felt--trashed, totally covered. Three players' chips and cards--splattered. Everyone was stunned.

So I gave a couple guys money to have their stuff cleaned, apologized profusely, offered to pay for the table cleaning, and got the hell out of there. I had to wipe ketchup off my chips before I cashed out.

Not entirely your fault, but if you're going to eat at a poker table, it should be spill/mess proof.

Did you still come out on top?

It probably had a lot of bacteria in it.

I was only up $25 when I scooted out, I had been playing 4/8 for about 90 minutes.

I've heard that if you get just a drop of water in a bottle like this, it can happen. Cheap azz place watering down the ketchup more than likely.

Eating a meal at the poker table is rude. Either eat or play, but don't make every one else wait while you try to juggle both.

damn that musta been embarrasing....how much did you pay everyone?

Don't eat at the poker table.
Poker tables are for playing poker.
Dinner/kitchen tables are for eating.

If the casino is offering the option to eat at the table, and the player is able to keep up with the game and his meal at the same time, I see nothing wrong with it.

exactly...if you don't want to see someone eating at your table, don't play one that allows food.

Personally I would not eat at a game table.

lol, hopefully we will see the surveillance video on a future poker disaster tv show.

It isn't rude, it's quite common. I don't delay the game except when I'm busy covering everyone with condiments so don't assume things.

i dont mind when people eat at the table. in fact sometimes it can be a very helpful tell. one moment they are just splashing chips around and eating, next thing you know the fork and knive are set down and they are staring at the board intently. i proceed accordingly. of course, im biased as ive been known to enjoy a short stack of pancakes every so often at the tables.

 

[MrBlahh]

Weird. Ive never seen or heard about this happening before last night. I was at a concert with a friend and we ordered some food and he did the same thing. The ketchup explosion wasnt as bad since it just got a little on his shirt.

Why shake the bottle?

Thank you for making my point. I'll bet the people who didn't get splashed were glad to see you go.

You're a walking sit-com.

Whatever, you're just being argumentative.

I doubt sixone gambles at these establishments much, but feels since they do well at absolutepoker or pokerstarz they'd sweep up LV anyday.
