"official" WPT Championship IV Thread

Sure, when you're all in, there's nothing else you can do. Kevin McBride did the all-in and leave move back in the 98 WSOP ME against Scotty Nguyen heads up, heading to the bathroom.

i kind of hate it.

its [censored] poker. its played at a table. leaving before your opponent is finished making his decision is unfair.

i mean i get that its within the rules -- i just think its stupid.

its a classless move to leave the table

I got involved into a huge pot in a cash game recently, guy went all-in and left the table...

I folded and gave him some choice words

BEST WPT.. EVER!!!

I was rooting for Joe and the Canuck from the git go, and man, it was just great from beginning to end, and it was a just result.

Dave played great, and anyone talking about blind luck is just jealous. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Saw Joe on a few Ultimate Poker Challenges, and got to like his style.

Terrific end to the season!

WOO!

why would you expect there to be no difference between the two?

You guys are too much with this. 'Classless.' 'Unfair.' Give me a break. Do you equate class with your opponent presenting himself in a way to you that allows you to stare him down? Who cares if he leaves the table?

I hope the guy in your cash game used three choice words as a retort -- 'get a clue.'

Stupid, maybe. Unfair, no. It would be unfair if the rule stated something like, "Only the chip leader may leave the table." But if anyone can do it, it's not unfair.
