Very questionable floor decision at the Gold Strike

...the point of my post is that I do not agree with the ruling. From your reply, "If money plays at that casino then it should stand" - well, that was not the case and that is what I have been arguing. If the floor would have ruled that way, then they both would have been all-in and the AA would have lost, but I would have been fine with the decision and this post never would have happened.

I believe that the preflop action should have been played out or allowed to play out differently. Yes, if the floor would have allowed the all-in my friend definitely would have called and he still would have lost the hand. My point, though, is that the floor stopped the action preflop before allowing any more betting. I believe that this was an error and should have been handled differently - there appears to be different opinions on how it should have been handled, but it definitely should have been handled differently.

I agree 100%. I don't understand the floors ruling at all. Either the money plays and it's all in or it doesn't and it's still all in for just the $15. Even though the ruling actually helped your friend (he didn't take advantage of it though) it was dumb and not well thought out.
