David Singer eliminated because of a weak TD

F****** petrols. Cant run a comp to save their lives.

Phones in the UK? All depends if I like the geezer in a cash game. If he's a fish and the players want him to stay at the table, he could have a bloody conference call for all I care.

Comps though, it all depends what Mickey Mouse TD is in place at the time.

Not exactly the same but the other week when i was playing in a £30 freezeout tournement i was running low on chips and moved all in with a pair of nines, all but one guy folded, he sat accross from me for a couple of minutes contemplating what to do, then he lifted his cards up an showed them to the player at the side of him, i said that was'nt allowed but they protested it made no difference as he had'nt told him whether to call or not, they got away with it! Obviously gave away that i did nt want to be called. Eventually when he called he had . Flop came  . Not been back there since.

most card rooms i know have a rule where if your cards are exposed then you can only call or fold - in this case these are his only two options anyway and provided he didn't receive any help from the person he showed his hand to then i can see why the decision was made that way. If it was me though i'd warn the player that if he did it again he'd receive a penalty.

p.s. if i've got 9's and i'm short stacked, all in and my opponent is thinking about it and showing his cards to his next door neighbour - i'd want a call every time
