my waas peeves

[dan]

The biggest peeve I have on Waas is players showing thier cards when there are 3 people left or more? I have on more then a few occasions been involved in a hand with an all in and thinking there are three people in the pot. The last time this happened I all ined ak for 50 dollars and 2 people call with kj and aq. This was at .25 .50 nl. guy with kj calling and only having 8 dollars, so off course the jack flops and im thinking let me at least escape without a queen so I can get a big side pot as the other guy was not short. My heart is pounding the whole way. After the hand is over my total decreases from 50 to 42 and im like WTF!!!????. Then reality sets in. AQ only showed his hand but didn't actually call. When your involved in a hand you are not thinking this because you are used to normal casino poker and other online games you have played in. Where else but on merge network could that happen. If you are not in the hand you muck your cards you didn't call you can't turn your cards over as if you had. This is much different from rabbitng because no one is confused. Hands like that take time off of your life, poker is stressfull enough don't let players show if they are not in a hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally agree with what you are saying. I also get confused at time (yeah yeah I know it don't take a lot) when someone has folded their hand but has shown what they are holding.

But I also hate hate hate hate hate the damn bloody rabbit feature. In fact I hate this feature more then any other feature on the merge network and have tried starting a 1 woman campaign more then once to have it either removed or to make it optional. I have never seen either of these options on any other site but if others have then please let me know and I will make sure I stay clear of those sites lol.

Oh btw did I say I HATE the damn bloody rabbit feature

in a live game if you are last to act after an all in and a call you can fold and show your cards. also some live casinos allow you to rabbit hands too but it does not happen as often as it slows up the game

I play at foxwoods casinos and atlantic city nl. They generally charge 5 dollars every half hor for time. There is no rabbiting allowed as it would take out time that could be used for dealing hands. your playing in a game and person is all in you are last to act I have never witnessed anyone turning over their cards when it is your turn to act and saying I fold but im turning over my cards. You either call or muck . I have never seen it in any televised tournaments either.

and the yanks say, we europeans have no clue of poker ... lmao

so when you have never seen this on your casino tables nor on a televised event, you think its retarded and not allowed? of course it is and you can show your cards and fold but you have to say fold loudly - this is nothing uncommon, its pretty much standard and up to each player on the table if he wants to show what he folded in that case or not - usually its used to create an image, that you can also lay down playable hands (which AQ is surely)

but crying about it on a forum is ...

btw because you said sidepot ... have you been all in preflop with your whole stack of 50$ on NL50 just with AK? hats up, what a skilled play lmao
