Well this is a new one, but it is something that I encountered Saturday night and it is the thing that annoys me more than anything. My brother and I went to a poker tournament with 41 people in it the other night (I got 7th) and as anyone who has ever been to a poker tournament there is drinking. Well when 11 o'clock rolled around this guy who was a complete d-bag (Chris was his name and hes 51) was completely trashed and was going on and on about how his net worth was like 200 grand and that he was better than everybody whose ever lived and whatever else could go on. The worst part about this however was that he was trying to be intelligent, but couldn't even keep up with the way I deal (He's dumb enough to believe that I deal at Foxwood's part time). For anyone whose ever played Hold 'Em it's pretty simple----all you gotta do is "burn 'n turn" but he couldn't get the concept.
A couple more hours went by and he was too drunk to be able to count his chips and he was just throwing in random amounts (Which takes away all of the skill involved when some idiot is betting 10-20x the entire pot without even knowing). Needless to say he kept buying the pots and became chip lead in a hurry not because of skill, but because of the lack there of. When we got down to the final table he continued to talk smack to all of us because he was worth more than us (the oldest one at the table besides him was 24 so its not like its a huge accomplishment). Needless to go on any further it was quite annoying to listen to his drunk a**.
Well since showing up drunk wouldn't be able to be justified as a capital offense I would guess that the best solution would be for the person in question to be kicked out of the tournament and if at all possible thrown into a snowbank.
