Sensation at the Sandcastle - Blackpool Disqualification!

[rudders]

i don't think the players should decide wot happens to ali chips as in most cases  they will just look after themself and not work on the best deal for ali . the casino should have rules set down in black and white so when these sort of things happen you know where you stand

--- They have - 'if you are banned  by us when we find out that we have done it- we wont let u in.'

Just spent ages reading this thread. So the big question what did he do or is it going to run till April 1st.For a AAA punter to get banned usually would mean the perp being in jail for the next few days 10k a pop punters just dont get barred they might take their custom to the opposition. Very curious.

If a player gets disqualified during a comp, or barred during a comp, the chips should be taken out of play and no monies returned even if he was chip leader heads up. If the chips are left in, this is a huge advantage to the players on his right.

I can understand this, but isn't it the same if someone just decides to go the cinema for a couple of hours? Do you still remove their chips because it's a disadvantage. What about when Hellmuth is hours late to the WSOP. Do you remove his chips? WSOP 2004, one of the chip leaders slept in on the last few days, his chips didn't suddenly disappear.

And remember when Jen was 2 hours late for the UK Open £200-er at Luton? They left her chips on the table.

A real difficult conundrum for Grosvenor, it has to be said!

How about sheffield i was playing there and had built up a few chips, i went for a chat with Jon Raab i was away for about 5 minutes when the cardroom manager came over (very thankfully) and told me to get back in my seat as i had missed 3 hands, apparently the next hand i would have to post 1BB, then 2BB the hand after then 4 then 8 etc, pure madness, after 3 hands!!!

[TightEnd]

arithmetic progression of blind removal in Sheffield?


I prefer geometric progression removal personally, fairer on the big stacks

Grosvenor used to have this rule, they have changed it now thankfully.

The sad thing was when i sat back down, the other players had a go at the TD, i was the table CL by quite a margin and they felt it was unfair for the TD to warn me about this rule. Sad how poker players don't want to just win a fair game.

Just had to comment, as i think is a great bloke and always up there towards the end of any competition he has played here at Broadway.
We did have that rule (miss 3 hands) but we changed it after day two of one of our major comps. A player was coming back from a fair distance to play day 2 , he also had alot of chips in front of him. We had to do something to try and keep him in the comp as a nice gesture and because we don't want to lose any customers as they are all valuable to us. There were 2 tables left and all the customers agreed that cuz this gentleman was gridlocked in traffic, we took an ante a round and not every hand, subsequently he did get ante'd out in the end but the customers and the casino tried to give this very nice man a chance to get involved and was hoping he'd get here, i think the finalists in the end got together and returned his entry of £500 as a token of gesture, which we thought was very nice.

I'm going to assume that is a TIC comment so I'll let it slide ONCE.
Any futher defaming of  da U, S, and Aers  may be met with severe repurcussions.
