Curious announcement by Venetian TD

[psandman]

So I was sitting in a cash game at the Venetian last night (Sunday) while a tournaemnt was starting up. gets on the Mic and makes some announcements including some rules. After announcing that exposing your cards while there is action will result in a 10 minute penalty, he says something along the lines of "And if what happened last night occurs again there will be a 30 minute penalty non-negotiable"


This is of course a silly thing to say to people who have no idea what happened last night.o anyone know what happened oaturday night that will now result in a 30 minute penalty?

It sounds like a targeted announcement to one specific player.

I think somebody did something really out of line.

I have no idea what happened, but I know that Sat/Sun tournies have a lot of regulars that play them on both days. It would not surprise me if this was targeted at either one single person that played in it the day before, or a group of return players from the previous day.

I also am curious as to what transpired.

I think that's a really fair rule by the TD.

Just don't do whatever it was that was done yesterday, even though you don't know what that is, and you won't get a 30-minute penalty.
How could that be a problem?

Maybe nothing happened and he's just trying to scare you all into keeping in line. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm sure the people who needed to get the message got the message.
