Re: Hand retrieved from muck at Binions - bad ruling?
Since you were all in, the conversation between the floor and the player should have been public.
If he is going to BS the floor, do you think "pocket black nines" would be his choice of made-up hands?
"retrieves from the muck" covers a lot, from "picks up the entire muck and finds the nines" to "turns over what the player and dealer thinks are his cards".
Yes, player should 'protect his hand', but this seems to be as much a dealer error. The floor tried to rectify that. He could have just given him his chips back and let you have your 'steal'.
"bad ruling"? Not good. Not bad. If the earlier case was "exactly the same", then it was inconsistent, which does bother me. "integrity of the game" implies consistent rulings.
