Phone calls and dead hands
£1-£3 NLHE game. I'm in seat 4, villain is in seat 3. Villain bets £20 on the river, and right after betting answers the phone and starts talking. I have the nut straight, and make it £50 to play. Female dealer prompts villain to act, but he's distracted and just follows in his conversation and doesn't acknowledge her. She gets very, upset and yells at villain. I say to the dealer "easy, easy, there's no problem". Rules of the house are phone calls => dead hand.
What's my line if she kills villain's hand?

What's wrong in trying to keep the hand alive? If the rule is in place to punish a player who's dissing the opponents, then isn't letting him play the hand and possibly lose more money a better punishment? [ QUOTE ] 2.

[/ QUOTE ] So if you were bluffing, you would scream at the dealer to kill his hand, right? The dealer is supposed to be a mind reader/psychic and enforce the rules based on 'maximum damage' to the transgressor? She did her job. Which is to enforce the rules, not to make you the most money.

Re: Phone calls and dead hands
Introduce yourself to the Villain, get his phone number. You know the rest.
