Nice hand Dominic.


What comes to mind for me tho are these points.

I like the fact the floor made him lose all that you had him covered for in one way. because he's going to be a problem child for the table and room as a whole in his state. Maybe it'll be a lesson for him. If he remembers.

I dont like the fact that the dealer didnt do his/her job in protecting the table and therefore allowing only $100 to play.

I like that the dealer stated everything correctly.

I dont like that the floor allowed more than $100 to play, thereby protecting the game as a whole also.

Reading between the lines, and I could be very wrong so take it with a grain of salt. Do I see this as a "floorman comes, sees the resulting winner of the hand, a friendly local" ruling? A ruling that would be different if the tabled cards were different? It just smells fishy to me.

A totally unbiased ruling would have been... floorman states, "push $100 of his chips into the pot, award the pot to the winner deal that young man out." Floor calls security and says he's got a customer to 86 from the poker room. Security arrives qwickly and escorts him away from the poker room, possibly off the premesis depending on any further beligerance.

Sure is nice to wake up with a hand in that spot though!!

I agree that it should have been handled differently....although I think he should've been made to lose the max buiy in of $300 to me rather than his stated $100.

And on a side note, the floor did not know me...I'm not usually at the Orleans....

Of course, in this instance, I did not mind the floor's ruling at all!
