Default Re: HAL LUBARSKY. BLIND MAN TO GO ALL THE WAY

This proves how ridiculous Harrah's is and maybe it is because of the concern for receiving negative PR. But you can't speak a foreign language at the table and you can't have an IPhone, but someone can whisper in your ear what other players are doing and possibly how to play your hand? Don't get me wrong I feel bad that he's blind, but this shouldn't be allowed.

I played with him for over 3 hours on Day 1D, and as soon as I sat down, I was wondering what I would do if I saw his seeing-eye man whisper in his ear while he was in a hand after telling him his cards. It never came up, and it seems they both know pretty well what is kosher and what is not. When we played together, the only time the SEM would whisper in his ear other than to tell him what his hand was was when a new player sat at the table, he'd tell him what he looked like, stack size, etc.
