I'm inspired by the other thread so I'll post a situation that I was involved in on Friday.

50p/£1 cash game. Plenty of alcohol involved and table is quite loose.

Tight bloke makes it £5 utg and receives two callers. I'm on the button with JTs and call.

Flop of 49Q is decent for my hand and orig raiser makes it £20.

One guy folds but player B calls. He has two stacks of chips, both with something daft like £14 in them. He pushes them in one after another, and I presumed he was trying to go all in but has inadvertently called.

Anway, I ship it in as the raiser has to call his remaining £80 off and I don't think he will. He tanks for a good while at which point I'm getting a bit bored. At this point I notice player B seems to have gone for a walk. Hmm. The guy eventually folds and action is on player B who isn't at the table. Dealer kills his hand and I take down the pot uncontested.

Now, 2 questions.

1) Correct ruling here? I think it was. I didn't say a word during it tho and left it to the dealer to decide what to do.

And more interestingly as I'm not sure on this:

2) If he was all in would his hand be live?

hand dead on both counts, not at table ur hands dead regardless

   he must of had a vindaloo the night before me thinks

Kinda different but I remember Kieran O'leary(name ??) at wsop walking miles from the table everytime he was all in and his hand was never dead,house rules ftw

in my opinion if not at table then cards are dead.

Otherwise in a tournie i can go all in UTG then go for a fag and come back to the table in the hope i've stole the blinds or doubled up.

why is this a problem?

Once you have gone all in, your hand is live even if you go away from the table. The cards speak for themselves.

In a tournament I agree with this due to the all in rule. The hands would be flipped over at this point and the board ran.

In a cash game though there's no such rule. The board will be run out and i'll table my hand. He's not physically there to table his and I'm not sure it's the dealers job to do so at this point? Not saying I'd want to win a pot this way but it just seems like a strange spot.

was this in leeds alea?

was it a skinny guy with glasses?

sounds like CF himself

yup. the dealer or the player? not gonna name dealer for obv reasons, but i didn't recognise the player.

oi lol

the dealer

i worked there for 2 months
and if its  the guy who i am talking about, he is very strict about playing within the rules.

Once he told me that a dude sat down and used a £2.5 coin/chip (from a diff casino) as a card protector. When he went all in and lost he was made to give the £2.5 chip to the winner of the pot
he is a nice guy tho
he also is a cub master

Nana scoops as the guy has string raised so he's not at the table to call nana's all in so his hand must be killed bybthe dealer!

as soon as a player leaves the table so does his hand weeeeeeeeeee.... ship the pot to nana...
