Life or Death

[AKQJ10]

So technically the guy isn't dead and therefore his hand has to be treated as live and if he can't act, then he is folding.

If the "best interest of the game" clause -- a rule that is "technically" in every casino's rulebook -- doesn't apply here, there's no point in having one. Also the casinos can save a lot of money by laying off the floorpeople and replacing them with Jetsons-style robots.

I mean, really, from a BIotG perspective, what purpose could possibly be served by killing the hand? Making an example out of the dying guy to prevent incorrigible angle-shooters from attempting one last maneuver by raising with a reverse implied-odds hand 30 seconds before they croak?

Both the all-in and full refund are fine in my book.
