This never would've been a question if money was put-up beforehand - maybe placed on top the light?
Making someone wait for a production to occur (atm, etc) after they win is poor form, unless discussed prior. ..In this case, the guy lied about having it on him! Even tackier!
Good point. But because I've been playing this guy for over a year, and he's always made good eventually, I don't make him post. Now if we raised the stakes to $100 or more a set or game, I think that I would make him post. For a stranger my "post ahead of time amount" is anything $20 or more.
