Default JC Tran controversy poll

I'm going to make it as simple as possible. I want to get an idea of the #s on each side of this debate.

We all now know that the tournament ruling with JC Tran at Foxwoods was the "correct" ruling, according to the current guidelines. The question is....

Which is more important to you? The actual "rule" itself, which is currently in place to prevent collusion, and is easily avoidable by those who may decide to collude. Or, holding these people who decide to muck their hand while it is still live accountable. Maintaining the integrity of this game so that we will never see another player awkwardly pulling back their cards from the muck and simultaneously jamming their chips in the pot while we all shake our heads, because we ALL know the player has folded his hand.

Choose which you believe is BETTER for the integrity of this game...

I dunno whats worse, the fact i read the first 100 replies to the other thread or that i came here expecting more.

The rules are the rules are the rules. The rule DOES work.

In fact, for you or JC to claim the hand should be dead is angle shooting in its purest form.

Ive never heard of anyone ruling that you can muck in a tourney when you get all in with streets still to be dealt - and if they have they need a swift kick in the nuts.

This is NOT a debate. There is a rule. The rule was followed. The right outcome happened.

As someone who works with many Ph. D scientists designing survey questions and stuff I can honestly say this is one of the most heavily biased polls in terms of wording I have ever seen.

Am I the only one seeing OP 40 years in the future, with his grandchildren on knee, telling them all the story of THE HAND - the hand where someone else called villains straight flush and cost him a huge pot.

Looks like the rule is winning in the poll.

So i guess you're not really listening to the pole if it doesn't get the results you want.
