JC Tran controversy poll

[budblown]

I posted this in the Tourney/WSOP/Circuit section where Matt Savage, Johnny Grooms and RR were discussing. This in my mind is the best way it should be handled from now on.

What if there is a way to prevent collusion/chip dumping and kill the hand at the same time. Instead of having the hand still be live when the dealer turns it over, why not have the hand be dead but still make it mandatory that the dealer flip the cards over. This would then prevent the colluding/chip dumping and punish the person for mucking, instead of rewarding them, when they intend to muck and then get lucky. Because I'm sure we all agree that the rule in the cash game is ideally the best ruling in regards to mucking, but the need is still there to prevent the collusion/chip dumping.
