Re: the \"you win\" rule

over time it started sneaking back in "the rules"; usually via the poker manager via memo or an entry into the floor staff logbook.
[/ QUOTE ]What goes into the floor staff logbook? Surely not all rulings made during a shift. Who reviews the logbook, and for what purpose?

My experience comes from Hollywood Park (1996-2000) where I was a floor and The Bike (2001-2005) where I was a nl host/lead prop sort.
Typically the log will have a record of who is barred/unbarred or to be watched closely and changes to policies (either handwritten or pasted in memos). Typical rule changes that might be logged would be similar to the following:
- who gets the odd chip in a new high limit Omaha/8 game (where the players don't like the written rule).
- what happens if a player is unaware of a raise (only puts in a call) and there is subsequent action (this must have changed ten times at Hollywood park).
- "latest and greatest" [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] must move policy.
- new game structures
- clarification (or further foggy notions) regarding problem rulings
As noted this is simply my experience in two clubs.
