Two folks are wagering and they apparently are agreeing what the wagers were. You really want a 3rd person uninvolved in the hand to be able to throw a fit and prevent them from completing their transaction?

i just want the cardroom to enforce its rules--it's the dealer's job to run the game, so when player A put more money on the table during the hand, he should've been told he can't.

or how about in a limit game, 2 players are headsup and want to go all-in. i've been told that they have to actually go thru the process of raising and re-raising. why can't they just go all-in as long as they agree to it?

i mean, you really think it's a good idea to let players negotiate among themselves whether to ditch the table-stakes rule? if that's the policy, then whenever i have the nuts at the river i should always ask my opponent if he minds me putting more money on the table. it can't hurt, right? if he says no, then fine, but if he EVER says yes, even once out of a thousand times, then YAHTZEE.
