Someone said earlier that Jeff from the Vic would not have made that ruling .....well its a grosvenor rule and he was on the rules committee when the rule was brought in so draw your own conclusions
Bottom line is that the correct ruling was made based on Grosvenor rules its just that the rules are shit!!!
Ok as an ex cardroom supervisor at Walsall i know some of the Grosvenor rules are a little shitty. All talk goes whether its the truth or not which itself opens up to lots of arguments but basically if someone says they are going to call even if no one has bet yet then they have to call. We had 1 incident where it really kicked off.....a guy puts a small bet in on the turn ...the next guy is thinking when the bettor says "if you re raise me i shall pass" ... the guy then rerasies ...the original bettor then moved all-in supervisor was called and the guy was made to pass...as he had stone cold nuts he was a little pissed off but basically the answer is say nothing I accept that a bit of banter is part of the game but a lot of people have been playing long enough to just keep quiet and play the game
good luck to Buttar he is a walsall regular who mainly plays £5 and £10 rebuys Personally i think Jeff willl win it but i'll be in at 8 pm for another 10 hours work work work
Beware the Marcus Blobby Jones ...he may be slightly tubby and very baldbut is solidly consistant too. he finished last year by winning the Grosvenor Grand Prix plus he is a local at our place Go On Marcus !!!!
