I'm going to make it as simple as possible - you are a moron.

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.

agree in every single word. It was just an unfortunate outcome for the hand. Note that it should be different in cash games

Poll results are very interesting. While obv a small sample, it is an educated one. Actual players of the game who know enough about the topic at hand to make a thoughtful vote.

I really don't know why some of you seem to take this so personally. There is clearly (look at the poll #s and the posts on the longer thread) an argument here for whether or not the current rule is the most valuable for the sake of this game. If you're plan on posting a response to reiterate the current rule itself as it pertains to the JC Tran incident, save it. This thread is to discuss the what is best for the integrity of the game, not the ruling in that specific instance.

The integrity of the game? Yeah, it's best to let neophytes get angled out of a pot. That should keep the suckers in the game.

[0524432]

No angle, you muck your cards, you lose. Noob to seasoned pro, if you feel the need to muck your hand while the pot is still live, you should be held accountable by losing your right to win the pot.

[/ QUOTE ] TBH, outwith your posts, there weren't many others thinking that allowing angle shooting as you suggest was a good thing

[/ QUOTE ] So this thread is only for those who agree with you? Your running a dictatorship now?

[/ QUOTE ]as decided by you, you've already stated there can be no dissenting voices to your opinion, which clealry wrong as it is is meant to be for the good of the game because you say so?

Calm down, take a chill pill, and LISTEN to what everyone has told you.

The only thing I'm "listening" to is the poll #s. Awfully interesting considering the 2nd option is an idea that just came about as of yesterday in the longer JC Tran incident thread...
