start with the radiator nearest the boiler and work toward the furthest away, if boiler is downstairs work down to up. leave the feed to the boiler on slightly to keep pressure up and turn on heating FULL. hold the radiator key in a towel or thick gloves as water will be hot, let run until all air has escaped and close the cap, then repeat on all radiators. When all done check water pressure then close the feed fully.

I helped the owner of a local pub start a weekly Hold Em tourney at his place.

ditto, me and GF ran tournys for local

When in doubt, I kept the doubt to myself and made as fair a call as I could on the night.  Then I'd come home and double check what I'd done was correct or post here for confirmation.

ditto (try explaining split pots)

bully the owner long and loud enough to get your way).  "This isn't Vegas" was another favourite line.

ditto

Don't mind helping out, but I got no back up during disputes and refused to put up with further abuse.

ditto

I've since gone back now and then, but don't get stuck in when trouble starts unless I'm involved in the hand.

ditto, but then if i was involved in the hand the rules had changed (coz we were the outsiders against the regulars)

NEVER BEEN BACK

just read through this thread and lol'd at every comment. My last post was a redtooth game and everything on this thread has happened at my games, i don't run the games i just sit and play after previous arguments ; trying to explain split pots because the kicker is on the board ( A,7 v A,6 all-ins )  idiot
tried to explain the dead dealer rule situation and lost. Didn't even attempt to explain table balancing (6,3)
my GF has qualified to play the regional finals at the Circus Newcastle 30th Nov so she's hoping it will be run better than the local games, maybe see some Blondes there, i'm going for the free buffet

 i have somehow mislead the issue, rob did not act out of turn (he was SB) but all other actions were as i stated, sorry for any confusion

thanks for response guys, even the constructive ones.

There was no heated debate, shouting, fists etc. i accepted it, got up and went to the bar.

i'll remember THEIR rules in case i need to use them in my favour.

i know what you mean about standard pub games, add on the fact me and GF intruded into their regular little game a while back. picture the scene - strangers walk through saloon doors, 2 seconds later you hear the proverbial pin drop.

hi guys, i was in a pub tourny last night and i think an unfair ruling was made against me during a hand. Chip counts/blinds don't really matter but it was between the 2 chip leaders, rob and me (he had me covered by about 1000 chips)

rob was introduced as new to the game but i later found out he regularly visits casinos to play.

scenario :- pub tourny 10 players, 5 left. Play for points (small kitty between top 3)

SB - rob
BB - me

all fold to rob, he makes up and i check

FLOP - rob checks, i bet 1/2 pot, rob calls
TURN - rob checks, i bet the pot, rob calls

by now we both getting short stacked, but still enough to continue playing.

RIVER - within a second rob throws his cards into the community cards face up, i see i'm beat (he paired the board with 2nd bottom pair on the turn)Huh?
so i assume he's mucked and start gathering the pot then a voice pipes up "hang on it's tex to bet" so rob grabs his cards back from the middle and puts them back in front of him (no line on the table)

i then say to the table that he played out of turn and threw his cards so i win. then the DEBATE started :-

"he didn't say fold"
"you can still bet"
"you haven't showed to prove you won"
rob stayed quiet throughout the DEBATE

we call over the TD (pub landlord) and he says he 'thinks' he saw something like this in a casino and robs hand is live because it hadn't touched the mucked cards.
rob then says "oh well i'll check" He has more chips than me, but being a bit peeved and thinking he wont call with 2nd bottom pair i go all in.

amid comments of "he's bluffing" "you've got more than him" "you need points" etc, rob calls and i'm out.

was that the correct ruling or were the short stacks trying to climb up the ladder.

i'm over it now but i know if i used that tactic i would be severly frowned upon as me and missus usually take their money off them.

It's not a big game but classic pub players - limp limp limp limp limp RAISE call call call call call

your views/opinions would be greatly appreciated as i would like to know the exact ruling on this, i know rules differ but surely this must be a black/white situation

2.50  Patkai -  sir Michael Stoute & Ryan Moore very good combo

3.25  cracking race, Duke of Marmalade v New approach though A O'Brien says the duke may not run if too wet/heavy. I reckon Pipedreamer for a place for Gosden/Fortune

4.40  Drill Sergeant  for the  M Johnston/Greg Fairley team. Beaten by 6l at Haydock over 1m 3f on heavy going, could/will still be heavy at York but 1 furlong shorter could see this Rock of Gibraltar colt wrap this up
