Final table situation, player requests other players to move around?

I expect people to attack the post not the Poster. That warning wasn't aimed at you solely, it's a blanket warning to keep this thread open. If someone doesn't accept other people's opinions even if it is one shared by the majority, that's their prerogative.

People can start threads if they want, they don't have to accept what the majority say.

out of order?

he is just saying what most people would think of a guy like this. its a simple matter of common courtesy, and i've met people like this before, with no regard for others. the sad thing about this is that no alone has he been so disrespectful to other players but also has the audacity to post it on the web.

Im sorry here - can you please point out where I have refused to accept. I am trying to generate a point of view on it and ive asked certain posters for further input.

Ive also asked for some debate on the below without success as i feel it puts forward a distilled perspective on the situation that when people look at it they have thus far been unable to comment on as it might not align so closely with their earlier held views.

It just doesn't make sense to me.

To elaborate on Ste's point above, warnings have been given, the next person that ignores that and calls anyone here an ahole or cnut or similiar will get a few days cooling off period.

This is bad manners plain and simple and smacks a little of gamesmanship and arrogance.

I've played with you on a number of occasions in the past and always found you a pleasant guy. As such I am surprised at this behaviour over a trivial matter. I think, from this post and a number of your other posts (blog included) that you're beginning to believe that you're a superior player to so many others. Relax and lighten up: it's more fun!

:cool:

Just use common sense, it'll go a long way around here. But generally calling someone a cnut is quite a strong slur on someone's character.

This is such a pointless thread. The facts are so simple so would people stop making personal attacks at the poster.

He was technically within his rights not to move. The right ettiquette would have been to move but we are all guilty of not being completely mannerely at some stage. Im sure the tiredness and grind of the tourney got to Noel as I have always found him good craic at a table.

Get over it girls.

thoughts on this perspective?

personally I'm comfortable at any seat on a poker table except the dealer's seat.

Maybe you should start wearing the baseball hat, sunglasses & a hoodie for the times you won't be in seat 4. They all know now you're outside your "comfort zone" in any other position.

It is mostly when used to attack posters, or if used to provoke a response from someone else here. Other times it is usually not appropriate and sometimes a warning will be issues. I am sure there are times when no warnings have been given, and speaking personally I know I will try to be more careful in future not to let the heat of the moment affect things.

Smart arse.

Technically that is trolling, but I will let you away with it this time, despite being tempted. I'll just give you a slap next time I see you.

Well sorry Kakak, I'll be expecting your gospel to be published soon.

you just like to try and insult people. what is your problem. i just read istanbuls post and with the way your are responding to most posts, i am beginning to think that his post is very insightful.

as regards the bit about your comfort zone and the first prize, i have won from numerous different seating positions at final tables. i do have a preferred seat but it certainly will not affect my game if i have to move around a bit. imo, either istanbul is right or else its time you grew up and realised that most people do try and accommodate others with little gestures of respect such as giving someone a little more space at a poker table

Id hate for this to come across as its certainly not how i feel nor is it the persona i am trying to represent. I have been taking poker far more serious for the past 6-8 months so possibly its an offshoot of this.

Actually it could be taken as a compliment, it's quite a useful thing to have around

point taken, I apologise for the use of the word, it wasn't meant literally more as a figure of speech to show my annoyance at what I perceived as arrogance

If a person was dropped from space and this situation was taken in a vacum it would not make sense. The point is this is not the case. When in a situation like this most people do take into account non cold calculating factors like common courtesy , manners , respect etc etc

I mean slow rolling someone in a game may gain you an advantage by tilting the other player in the hand but few agree that its ok to do.

I don't really have an opinion on the above only to say I would have moved but your within your rights..

Something similar happened to me at one stage only worse... 4 players left final table of a tourney I'm in seat one stuck in the corner. Seat 2 and 3 are vacent.... I decided to take out the seat from seat 3 allowing me to to move my chair around to the end of the table and another player objected and got a ruling and I was made move back.... I told him in no uncertain terms what I thought of him and he got a ruling on that too..........

Hi Noel

if i was the other fella in seat 9 or whatever and i asked if you would move and you said no, coz you are comfortable where you were - that'd be fine with me - who am i to get you to move from where you want to be?

if it made him/others a bit tilty - all the better!

if you were doing it to just be a pr1ck (which doesn't seem the case), well then you'd just be a pr1ck

big lol @ all the posters who think your a nasty man - coz you're about as nasty as noddy

well done with the result btw - i hope you sent vera a nice bunch of flowers

Id have a similar line of thought.

not my intention. I was more likely to be the one to tilt had i moved and become uncomfortable

yes it is aimed at you, and no i don't care to elaborate. read back through the whole thread and you'll see why yourself. including one very thorough quote to one of my posts. And after reading a post which says you did very well, and by the sounds of it, you won it, then i see what this is all about. its you bragging to all of us, that you wouldnt move and as a result you won the tournament and so on and so on. just a big brag. i was afraid that this might be the case all along.
