Interesting Ruling Time:

On the river of a Marc Goodwin says, "I bet the pot." The dealer tells him she can't count the pot for him so he bets 1,300 instead. They get a ruling where TD Ian declares if someone says "I bet the pot" the dealer can count it but no-one can ask specifically for a count of the pot.



Jen absolutely hates this ruling, because people should be able to keep track of their bets and there's no maximum you can bet other than all your chips.

In the hand itself, Goodwin is forced to bet the pot anyway, which is 1,050. He gets called, but shows to win.

Ah, i knew i should have popped up to Blackpool! What was her name dewi, help me out?
Lorna?

Suprisingly Kinboshi is right, spyware/virus removal programs wont fix this problem until you have done a system restore.

System restore ftw

Ridiculously impressive piece of kit, Im meant to use it to VPN into work, but really I use it for poker.
Two tabling on pokerstars in the pub on Sunday night and it runs beautifully, until the 6th pint of Guinness made me shove 40k in with A8 into KK. 

I would definately recommend one of these, and but I would go for the XP version rather than Linux.

Had the same problem.

Was showing my boss at lunch time and it worked everytime.
Very strange.
Think you need to rework it gatso so it fails globaly! U know, like the economy.

Well 4 hours later my boss says 'oh shit, well thats a waste of an afternoon, im off!!!!'

I would just like to say that not all pub poker is terrible.

Me and Stu run an event every Monday at our local and it's really good fun. We regularly get 25+ runners and have peaked at 36 so it makes for a decent little tourney.

It is really well organised and there are never any disputes because we know the rules that we use and everybody knows that what we say goes.

If this happened at our place the cards are dead as soon as they are thrown at the dealer so you win. There could be an argument if you'd checked first and he exposed face up that if they didn't actually hit the muck then it was a showdown. In your situation though you've been done over.

If your ever in Nottingham on a Monday night you should come along! We get more runners than Gala!
4k Stack 12 minute levels, dealers provided and even a laptop showing the clock, average and prizes etc.

yeah, soz, didnt mean to tarnish all pub poker, just the ones iv been to have been dire. sounds like u run a decent one evil.

I disagree

Amazing. Absolute amazement.

Can i have an interview please Crow.

Caaaaaww

I hate to play anything over £100 that gets less than 50 runners. Just dosnt make it worth while but thats only my opinion and possibly because im crap.

...said Russell Brand to a satantic slut.

He is undoubtedly my hero after the 'hari krishna' and 'but it was funny' comments i saw today.

Sack him and Jonathan Ross? There dongles are worth the license fee alone.

Its a tough one with a newcomer to the table.

Am i wrong to think that due to the generaly poor standard of play we all witnessed u should be swayed to call?
 

Is the seat transferable to another month kev?

Gets better.

If your friend had lost the money in the next spin, the casino would offer a repayment deal but if no joy they would be banned nationally.

Got to love roulette.

Just had a reply.

They are definately aloud to do this. Apparently in the CUB rules what ever they may be.

Just asked him the interesting question of what would happen if your friend had then lost the £600 or even worse span it up to £6000
