"All in.........., no I fold."

Read my new Bellagio NL rule thread. May find interesting.

I was playing some restricted buy-in no limit yesterday when the following situation occured. The max buy in for the game is $200. A very LAGy player to my right bets all in to me (heads up pot) on the flop when I have top pair and meduim kick. His all in bet is for $165. I go into the tank for like 10 sec, the I announce "call". This guy then takes his $165 back and mucks his cards!!!! I look @ the dealer, and instead of saying anything to the player, the dealer intantly calles the floorman over. The dealer accurately relays the situation to the floorman. The player in question slips the floor man a $5 chip from his stack, WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE POT! The floorman's ruling: "Moving his chips into the pot across the betting line doesn't constitute a bet, the line is arbitrary, and he removed his chips before you acted, next hand"........ OMG, WTF do I do? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Interesting house rules.... some places don't enforce the forward motion ruling, however if there is a betting line and the player's hands come off the chips he has put across, it is 100% a binding a bet at EVERY casino/card room I have ever played at. I would have asked for the floorman's manager....then I would never go back.

Do not assume action across the line is binding. More importantly, do not assume action behind the line isn't. It's not so much a betting line as a courtesy line.

Right but if you put your chips over the line, in turn, and take your hands off the chips... how could that NOT be considered a bet?

You were robbed. We agree with your outrage.

So now that you've got everyone so worked up...WHY WILL YOU NOT TELL US WHERE THIS WAS?????????

I would cash out, leave immediately, and never go back. No point in even arguing, if bribes are encouraged I would assume that everybody's back is covered - except for yours.

What did you do?
