uneasy chop

DTD are definitely spot on in this. It's an absolutely horrendous situation to be in. Having been on the bad side of it myself I must say it's one of the things I hate most in poker, the whole table ganging against u.

Last time I had it was in Caesar's Palace, 5 paid and they all wanted to put $40 in each for 6th. I was not happy as chipleader albeit a small one since it was a turbo but as the min cash was 3x the buyin the bubble was huge! Nevertheless the TD said if players want to make an arrangement on the side then it's none of his business so they all went and put $40 in. As I saw there was nothing I could do about this rather than seem like the bad guy I decided to go along with it. It was totally redic since the shortie had 4bb's and was a near certainty to bubble, especially as he was folding to death. In the end I really felt this cost me around $500 from being able to steal the next 10 pots in a row and secure a top two spot no probs.

It shouldn't be allowed and TD's should be far more active and just put the foot down when a player says no. Remember NO means NO!
