Got what I consider to be a shocking ruling last night at DTD. I've complained to several blondes about it already...Blatchley, Greekstein, EvilPie and Stu Hopkin all had a good chuckle at my expense when I told them about this...
In a hand last night, there was a limped pot with 5 players and I checked my option in the big blind. The flop came down and the under the gun limper bet out. What I thought happened was that everyone folded, and as I mucked I flashed my cards to just show I had a terrible hand. Actually though,one player had called the bet.
I apologised immediately, and they played the hand out. Neither of them complained and it didn't affect the hand in question. Admittedly it was a dumb mistake, but no-one seemed to think too much of it. However the tournament director happened to be loitering nearby, and he came over just straight out gave me a penalty where I had to sit out (with my blinds and antes being taken) for one round of the table. At 300/600 (100) with a stack of like 11k this wasn't a great time for this to happen.
I've never seen anyone given a penalty ever, and etiquette faux pas like this happen fairly often in my experience. Not to be given some kind of warning first baffles me!
How high does this rate on your ridiculouslyharsh-o-meter??!

Pretty daft imo nearly at ASA's level however not as daft as hoping to get sympathy from that bunch.. Blatchley, Greekstein, EvilPie and Stu Hopkin all had a good chuckle at my expense when I told them about this...

Seems reasonable enough if they actually enforce it on all such incidents.

I was in the hand and I was the guy who called the limpers raise I was nut flushing and hit it on the turn you flashing ya cards made no difference to me or the other guy.In fact neither of us saw your cards anyway and I had already called his bet.Nobody on the table was bothered it was a genuine mistake and u apologised like 5 times.It was seriously harsh to say the least bit out of order I reckon as it was genuine mistake.

"prick" and "power crazy" are not exactly phrases that spring to mind when thinking about DtD staff.

lol and if you kick off about it and end up getting barred that means you've won, obv. It was a bit harsh, but meh - could be worse. |

By entering the tournament you accept that it's being run by a TD employed by the venue. When a TD makes that decision you have to accept it and move on whether you agree with it or not. That's how tournament poker works. The notion that its a competition between TD and player with one winning and one losing is laughable, before even considering yopur other ill informed personal comments towards the TD |
