It is pretty much a universal rule and one that i often forget about unless I am in one of the seats beside the dealer when I put chips on my cards.

If the other player did this deliberately, he should be disciplined by the cardroom staff.

Methinks you couild pillage & rape in a UK Cardroom & not get disciplined. I don't ever recall seeing anyone disciplined in a UK Cardroom for a poker misdemeanour, and I've maybe seeen 2 peeps removed from a comp or penalised.

Common-sense would solve the prob sofa-king had, it's not difficult. We don't see too much common-sense when it comes to decisions or rulings in poker, as everyone at the table has to put their oar in, & it becomes a shouting match. Poker could be sorted out VERY quickly, but we are our own worst enemies, & attempts to straighten the game up are met with unthinking & self-interested resistance every time.

Guy got penalised in the WSOP cos he smelled bad. They made him have a shower. Now that's discipline.

Yeah, but wow, he DID smell bad, trust me! Sadly, he was a Brit.

Always protect your hand at all times
I'd then time penalty him. He wouldn't do it twice!

Why only a Time-Penalty? (Unless it's a week). Disqualify the bugger. Or shoot him. I would. We need to get hold of our game before it's too late, & being soft on these peeps aint the answer. A time-penalty simply means he stands at the bar telling his mates how big his todger is.

bluffing then

If you 'shoot him', what then for someone who does something worse?
We need categories of punishment with increasing severity:

A: Stretched on a torture rack for 15 minutes.
B: Made to listen to Girls Aloud for 3 hours.
C: Electrified prods connected to one's nether regions.
D: Stripped naked and tied to a lamp-post in Peckham.
E: Forced to watch re-runs of Tikay on Poker Night Live.

Is (B) a live performace?

If so, then I'll be chucking my cards at everyone at the table.

i am aware to protect your cards at all times but cmon,my cards were right infront of me,as close as they could be.this guy threw his cards thinking he was last to act methinks but then the real last person to act jumps up and says your cards are dead to me,tosser i know ,but if the situation was done by 2 players to pull a stroke do you think this is fair that my hand becomes dead?no way!,yet the rule is that MY HAND IS DEAD ,,,,,,,,,,i wish we had rules like golf,i know some golf rules are crazy but i am a keen golfer and there is a rule for everything you could imagine or do in golf e.g if you hit a animal with your ball and then it goes into a water hazzard????yes there is a answer for  this,,,you know why?yes coz everything you can imagine has happened in golf ,,,LETS TRY AND MAKE THIS GAME ,A SPORT FOR GENTLEMEN TOO !!!!!!!

I'd go for all the above

But other than physically removing the numpty from the tournament and chucking him out with a ban , a time penalty is the first solution

When you give him the time penalty you tell him if he makes one move out of place he will be barred, simple.

....but by then, he/she may have already committed an act that enhanced their chance to win the Tourney, or reduced someone else's opportunity. And he/she just gets a Time Penalty?

DISQUALIFY them - THEN they won't do it again. 

Why be so soft on these cheats?

[boldie]

I am with Tikay on this one...it's a bloody disgrace. Poker is a billion pound business but for some reason is being treated like an amateur game. It's pathetic...and it's a bloody good reason to stay out of live tourneys.

...and there you have the truth.

Why the hell are we so wet towards offenders?
