mandatory call ?

[acc2020]

I recall reading a poker magazine recently that a tournament diector said he would force someone to call if he was pot committed.So I based my post around that.

Personally was happy that i won the pot uncontested.

(if i'm wrong about what the magazine post said i appologise.I just skim read the article whilst taking a dump)

you probs did read that, there's nothing to stop someone who's a TD also being an idiot

It was one of those free mags from the casino , can't recall the name of it but it was from the last 12 months.It was something like "ask the pros" sponsored by the Hendon Mob.

If anyone could look it up and correct me if i mis understood it.

If you did read something like that I'm sure it would be the other way round i.e. a bigstack getting 20-1 pre and wanting to fold on a bubble.

I've read some truly appalling ruling in those ask the td features. they ask 5 or 6 different people and one always gives some ridic answer

this one from a few years ago baffled me.

I asked mel about her decision after I'd read it as I couldn't figure out how giving a penalty to the player first to act could in any way be right but she stood by her decision

astonishing that 3 of the 6 tds would penalise someone for trying to check raise

lol @ those replies!

This one especially!:

"There’s nothing you can do about it. The player with the royal flush didn’t know the other player had 4 queens. If he doesn’t want to knock him out he doesn’t have to. There is an old old rule in poker that you can’t bet a royal flush, you can only call with it. The player with the royal flush probably thought he wasn’t going to get a call anyway."
