Years ago, had to be late '80's, I was hanging with a local player when these 2 ladies came in and wanted some action (first time I ever saw female road players) and me and my buddy said sure. We weren't big gamblers and I think we ended up playing $5 a game scotch doubles 9B.
My buddy, who was generally a good shot, was clearly not doing well with the pressure and every time I said "do this so I can do that" he would do something completely different and miss or hook me, etc. Either way, it was obvious his errors were making us lose. This went on for about 1 to 1.5 hours and at the end we were down about $60. When we called it we paid the women and I looked at him with my hand out and said "You're paying my share for not listening and doing your own thing which costs us" (or something similar). He balked at it but then both the ladies agreed with me and he ultimately paid me.
Ever have a partner totally screw up the set, if so, what did you do about it? Clearly, I never played with this guy as a partner again.
