The fact that you know the official ruling on what you understand this situation to be, is one thing. However, no player should be allowed to re-evaluate their decision after another player at the table makes a comment, period. Especially after the villain in question has done everything in his power to fold, short of placing both cards into the pile of muck himself. (i.e. saying "I had you 'til the river {a comment made by a player who is folding, not calling, every time} i.e. flipping his cards face up and throwing them towards the dealer, not flipping them up in front of him to get a read.)

Whatever the current ruling may be at the time and/or currently does not mean that this ruling is the most appropriate whatsoever. IMO no player should be allowed to make a call after flipping up his cards and having another player make a comment to the whole table about the villains hands, ever. I'm aware that it will be a judgment call most of the time, but in this case, it is so painfully obvious, there is no excuse.

As for the mods involved in this thread. Please take the time to forward me a pm with a more specific reason why I had my acct banned for 3 days than you're standard FAQ copy and paste. TT...IMO you're comments and attitude throughout this thread have been demeaning, inappropriate, and extremely unprofessional. The 2p2 forums are the most prestigious in the world for a number of reasons, and mods with 15k+ posts making pompous comments, is not one of them.

Furthermore, I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have offended in this thread and thank everyone who posted a worthwhile comment.
