[ QUOTE ] huh? it's a general rule to prevent collusion. it has nothing to do with this specific hand. it's a rule. [/ QUOTE ] Just so. I don't think anybody believes there was attempted collusion, but were two players colluding, this is exactly how they'd do it. [1] The dealer probably should have called the floor first, but the outcome is the same no matter what. If the floorman gets there, it goes like this: Floor: "Are those his cards?" Dealer: "Yep." Floor: "You sure?" Dealer: "Yep." Floor: "Then turn 'em over; they're live." Mike Ward made exactly the right ruling, and anything else starts you down a dangerous and slippery slope. It was just one of a gajillion bad beats at the Foxwoods that day. Next case. I agree, BTW, that you should probably handle it differently in a cash game (clear intention to muck face down should be respected), but that's completely and totally irrelevant here. Regards, Lee [1] Erm, modulo the fact that the guy would probably bury his cards in the muck quickly so they couldn't be retrieved. [/ QUOTE ] I was just about to post the same thing, damn you Lee Jones for beating me to the punch. But I guess people would respect your opinion more than mine so I guess it's ok. |

Standard ruling.
Guy is a muppet. When flustered may come off as a dbag. Somebody may or may not be busto. |

During a tournament in an all-in situation it is the CORRECT ruling for that players hand to be turned up, despite tossing it face down towards the muck. I do NOT care what the ruling is, Foxwoods or otherwise. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, who cares about the rules of poker? Obviously our own personal beliefs should take precedence at the poker table! BRILLIANT THREAD IMO |

Simple Cash game this is a fold, MTT if cards can be found you must play them, like floor said.

Re: Absolutely heated about JC Tran situation at Foxwoods
correct ruling, what's the problem?
The all-in guy is a huge douchebag for his reaction afterwards, but last time I checked that's not against the rules. |
