Was i out of line?

Hank Scorpio

Went to my local place last night to play a few freezouts.. big crowd there maybe 80 or so. Before i went down i had a few beers with my flat mates so was well on my way, i had to wait for a freezout table as its my preferred choice of game had another pint or 2 etc.
Got onto the table eventually and played tight as hell, i tipped my pint over and almost splashed some fat bloke who told me to **** off.
After about 20 hands i some of the people said why arent i playing any pots etc.. i didnt answer
eventually got down to the last 3 after my AK cracked a AQ and hitting a set of 3s.
I had the chiplead at this point and they both asked to split the prize money , around 500e each way. I told them i had around 65% of the chips and if this was going to happen i wanted my fair slice. I was prolly drunk at this stage but they kept persisting. i said no im not splitting etc unless i get my fair share etc..
We kept playing and i picked up AA on the very next hand and knocked off a old hag. She got into my face etc and started giving me grief and insulting me calling me a cheater and a snake :O the tourney director was there watching and didnt do a thing, me and the bloke left decided to split it 50 50% in the end cause our chips were even.
i joined another table and the old hag was back again insulting and insulting, i went to the tourney director and again he wudent do a thing because she is a "regulor"

I know i was fairly drunk but is this acceptable?

From how you described things looks like nothing wrong at all, just some rehab case of a degen old woman gambler, but if you were drunk and messy (e.g. spilling pints) maybe you were doing other things you didn't know about to annoy them.

But refusing a deal is grand, and you were well entitled (and correct) to do so...

Refuse the deal if its no good for you. You did right. In general doing a deal is gonna work out badly for you live.

I've only ever come across one cardroom manager that has done something like that. In a waiting list for a table and I got skipped twice. When I complained the manager said they were regulars. Non-Dublin obviously. I'd have gone there more often if it wasn't for ridiculously unprofessional stuff like that.

Casino Hag: Sir, you are drunk; very, very drunk.
OP: Madame, you are ugly; very, very ugly.
I shall be sober in the morning...

To paraphrase one Winston Churchill...

if u had 65% of the chips in play, and on the very next hand cleaned the old woman out, how di u and the guy left have fairly even chips?

Very much Winston. I'm sure Oscar had many similar pithy remarks mind you.

hi, there was prolly a hand or 2 inbetween i got the aces that i knocked some chips off to the bloke on my right, she was very shortstacked..she called with A2 .. we did a count when it was heads up and it was pretty much even ( if i remember right )

we immedateily chopped cause he knew i was a ok player and he was playing very well too

the main problem was she was a old biddy, shortstacked and wanted a even slice of the payout

Yeah I agree, you should have hit the bitch a few digs. Who does she think she is talking to you like that?

Classless behavior by her.

Drink in the cardroom? Classy place, start with a "Tal" and end in "ght"?

As if Oscar would ever have said anything so uncouth. Mixing up Wilde and Churchill is like mixing up Bill Hicks and Roy Chubby Brown imo.

After he returned from the bathroom a woman approached him and said "excuse me Mr. Wilde but your penis is sticking out". "Don't flatter yourself madam", he replied, "It's merely hanging".

This is of course the epitome of couth.
