Unethical? Just Bad Etiquette or neither?

Was bored off my ass tonight in St. Louis (all my friends here work and don't go out Sundays, god forbid) and decided I would try out the new baller casino downtown. Casino was nice, but the dealers in the poker room are retarded (not related to the following story)

Playing $1-3nl, I get into a couple hands with a regular at the casino, this black dude named Curt. He knows everybody at the casino and makes sure everybody at the table notices him saying hello etc. He has been talking it up quite a bit at the table and feels like he is the captain. He is sitting on around $500 or so and has been 3betting about the right amount etc (seemed decent) . He takes down the first two hands we play where he c/r me on the flop then goes the distance on turn and river.

3rd hand we play together I have 9T off and raise it up to 15 (sfstandard for my style). Flop is 9s8d3s. I c-bet $30 into the 2 callers feeling pretty good about my hand. Sure enough he c/r min from the SB. I flat knowing he will lead any turn. Turn is a devil card: Ad. He throws out a $100 chip and I start thinking about the previous hands I've seen him do this on, looks like I might be able to induce another bet with a call here given his previous hands I've seen.

River is a 2h (perfect) and he throws out $150. I stack out $150 immediately, this was my plan the entire time. As I pick it up to call he says "set" and starts to flip his cards. I look up quizzically and the dealer says "he hasnt called yet" and Curt is obviously VERY sorry, he didn't know! Oh man, he is so sorry, he can't believe it.

I immediately called him, then before he flipped his cards I said "That's about as close to cheating as you can get, fucking angle shooter" Sure enough, he doesnt want to show his hand. I demand the dealer show his hand which is 97 (lol). I don't give up on calling him an angle shooter, making sure everyone in the place knows what he did. He claims he has no idea what I'm talking about, but is clearly embarrassed that somebody is calling him out.

So, unethical or just bad etiquette?


He started cracking jokes with the rest of the table about how he wouldn't want to do anything wrong etc, trying to get people back on his side. I cracked jokes about how he was such a bigshot yet shouldn't afford to rebuy max (he was sitting on about $200, LOL). One of the other players started cracking jokes too, a loud asian player. I basically owned them both by taking down a big pot ($200+) against them both with 4-7o on an ATK59 board with a river bet which made the asian think for a while. He joked as he was thinking that he shouldn't do anything unethical against me. As he reluctantly mucked, I flipped up my 4-7 looked at both of them and smiled broadly. They both shut up (they had been loudly laughing together) and I asked "who's laughing now? Why so quiet down there?". Several other players chuckled at that one. PWNT.

I left about 10 minutes later with a few buyins in my rack and called the black dude an angle shooter loudly once more. He had less than $100 at that point

BWAHAHA

Last spring, we used to have senior citizens from the local retirement home volunteer at our school. Every Thursday morning the retirement home's shuttle bus would drop them all off. They stopped coming to volunteer because of this incident:

In case I haven't already made this clear: Tards get extremely attached to things, but it is very hard for them to express their emotional attachment appropriately. One Thursday morning, I am walking four of my 1st grade tards to the gym for "adapted P.E." One of them spots one of the grandmas getting off the bus. He freaks out, lets loose an ear-splitting scream, and charges her like a fucking bull, knocking her to the ground, really, really hard.

I run over and pull him off of her. She is laying flat on her back on the pavement in front of the school, writhing in what is obviously excruciating pain. The office ultimately had to call an ambulance, and she was taken to the hospital with a broken collar bone and numerous broken vertebrae.
