Liars!

[Les_Worm]

I took down a pot and the guy claimed to have Pocket 8's. When I checked the history he had Pocket 3's. I thought about calling him on it but I just let it go. Anyone ever call someone out on their lie? How did they take it?

I have told those lies and have had those lies told to me.

It's part of the game. If you can't lie, you shouldn't be playing poker.

Normally in that situation, I realize I did something stupid and try to cover by saying I had a better hand than I did.

[Xianti]

I've called out liars before. I'll post that bit of hand history that reveals their mucked cards. It'll sometimes put them on tilt, which is my goal.

[mike4066]

seeing as your playing Poker I would expect a few lies here and there.

Let them lie all they want, don't bother calling them on it. Just let them lie as you stack their chips.

[Fnord]

I just laugh. I'd rather not point out how easy it is to look this stuff up via hand histories.
