father and son on same table
 

[ QUOTE ]
Joe Sebok and Barry Greenstein have been assigned to the same table. The has happened to them in the past, and an annoyed Sebok asked the floorstaff when the next table draw would be. Its not until 18.

So much for random draw. The TD should be allowed to
separate them.

Why?
Only five tables left.
You saying that a 1 in 5 draw cannot be random?
If they both make the final table, the TD should tell Sebok he is out 9th so he won't have a "problem".

Doyle and his son Todd have been at the same table before, and from what I can see, Doyle finds it great fun to play against his son.

So, why is Greenstine whining here? I mean I can understand if he doesn't like to play against his son (my own son is a Maniac player, and his wife and myself refuse to at cash games to sit at the same table as him, but a tourney is another thing), if he doesn't like his son's playing style or something, but it's all part of the game sometimes when you have to play at the same table against a friend a relative in a Tourney.

BTW, is Sebok, Greenstine's Step son or something? Why doesn't Sebok have Greenstine's last name?

It's all about appearances. Poker must be above
suspicion. We in the poker world know they will
play hard against each other. But those on the
outside pass the laws. And they don't know.

Dude just stop posting.

So if you're Joe Sebok, you should get the luxury of never having to face Barry Greenstein early in a tournament? Genius.

You haven't thought this through. Obviously no
one thinks Sebok and Greenstein will soft play
each other. The problem arises when a backer
and a stake are on the this table. Men 'the master'
on the same table as one of his stakes. Accusations
have been flying.

Re: father and son on same table
 

I would have a much bigger problem if they weren't allowed to play at the same table than if they were.


Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong and stupid.

Re: father and son on same table
 

I disagree

Isn't that Ironic?

3rd $25K WPT Main Event.

Final 3.
Tuan Le, Hasan Habib, and Paul Maxfield.

Habib rumored to own a big piece of Le's action.

While 3 handed, Habib layed down to Le in a hand
that many observers thought was a pot committed
hand. Le was all in and would be eliminated if
he lost that pot.
Luckily Maxfield managed to finish second.
If Habib and Le had squeezed out Maxfield for 1st
and 2nd there could have been a big poker scandal.

There's no way to stop teammates from being together
on the same final table, short of not allowing
teammates to enter. But organizers can separate them
for as long as possible.
