Re: BBJ Ruling
The reason for your phone call is quite irrelevant. Don't answer during a hand, or when you are about to be dealt in. Call them back, they can wait a minute or two.
I don't understand why you even call this a "ruling." Seems to me (if it happened exactly as you say) the dealer was being rather obtuse, but a ruling can only be issued by a floorperson. Your move was to let the floor decide your fate. Obviously your hand was either live or dead before you put in the $5. If you didn't ask for the floor, then it's your fault twice now.
