thats ridiculous that the raise stands.. surely it has to be £52 or a call? if he doesnt announce raise i think it goes as a call. basically the dealer should make the decision to avoid any major problem.

happy new year bro - gonna be at gukpt walsall or london, or anything at DTD?

Hi mate, happy new year to you too - its been too long! Hoping to come up next month for the £300 at DTD so be good to catch up then. Will you have finished exams by then?

Gonna make an effort this year to play some live stuff so probably GUKPT london as can't be arsed to travel anywhere else! If i travel I'd rather its Notts so that I can see everyone again.

Just sent AlrightJack another pm about this ridiculous rule the vic has so hopefully will be able to post something on it soon enough.

In the Vic on Sunday I decided to ask the guy behind the card desk if he knew why this rule was in place as it seemed confusing to me.

What I didn't know was that this man, the grumpiest old git I have spoken to in ages was unfamiliar with normal human interraction and politeness. He stated that the rule was in place because when heads up it 'doesn't matter if you get underraised as it doesn't affect any third person in the pot'. When I questioned this the grump repeated what he said almost word for word and then went back to his bulldog chewing a wasp face. I should have just waited for AlrightJack to come back.

Couldn't of had two more different staff members. One a complete tosser and one helpful and friendly.

Well, that's one way of looking at things.

Yes having str8s beating flushes wouldn't affect a 3rd player either, but it would clearly affect a visitor to the club who quite naturally would assume that the uk's "flagship casino" used standard rules.
