As far as I'm aware if a player moves from a50/1 table to another he is allowed to bring all of his chips over. I'm surprised they sat there for 4 hands and nobody asked how much they were playing. Also I would of asked for a total amount of the all in bet rather than assume it's a certain amount. An unfortunate incident IMO.
The ruling at DTD as far as i'm aware....
is that a player is able to bring a full stack size over, i.e. one that is over the table maximum of 200 if the table is legitimately broken by the house e.g. if it goes down to 2 handed etc...
The table in question wasn't legitimately broken so i was under the assumption the player would only be playing 200 hence the assumption on stack size
Does this mean that at DTD, if I've run my £200 up to £1000, but fancy taking my profits but continue to play, I can just ask for a table change, stick £800 in my pocket and carry on playing?
That can't be right.
And yet it is.
Yeah I ran 200 up to 500 (thin brag yeah) a few weeks ago and moved to what I thought was better table after some good regs joined mine. Was a bit flummoxed when dealer said I had to weed 300 off into my pocket!
Yeah its a pretty sick rule when you consider no other card room allows this. I understand why DTD do it, but I've also told Danny and Tom (cash managers) that if I feel the need or the games are good, I will do this regularly. I was told this would be frowned upon by someone of my reg/ rules understanding status. This winds me up as any rule can be 'used' if you can find the angle and tbh the skill of spotting advantages in all aspects of life and in poker its +ev decisions or ways to 'lock up' profits given the chance is one I shouldn't be penalised for.
Best ask Alex as he's the only reg I know to leave the £1/2 and lock up profits to sit on the 50/£1 with £65 for 'fun'.....
