Soft playing is just not on  fullstop.

I really don't mind if people have percentages in other people as long as they play them fair and square but to blatently soft play is bang out of order.

TD's need to take my "bitch" mode on board, cos if i'd have been there, regardless of who was at the table , the minimum penalty i'd have given would be 30mins away from table from both players and all other players warned about it, then tell them after that they will be banned.

Have to admit if I was in the same boat i'd have lost it aswell.

Hope your hearing goes well

The problem is that the game has expanded so fast that there is a lack of people who have the necessary skill, judgement , knowledge , experiance and lets face it balls to do what is right in  situations where cheating has clearly occoured. A standardised set of rules is absolutely required however it cannot possibly cover the situations that Tight and Tikay describe . It's just not possible to make the bb call a bet if someone is all in even if he holds AA and its only one chip into a pot of one million, if he folds its his choice, he has paid the money to be there. What I am saying is that you cannot enforce rules that tell people how to play their cards, it just can't be done. As Tikay says some people even think that there is nothing wrong with playing this way against your friends so perhaps education is a better way of getting the point across, you're always going to get cheats in any walk of life but people who play poker must like it (i love it!) aand the importance of the integrity of the game is just as important a lesson as who deals, who posts the blinds and what beats what . It seems to me that this has been overlooked, i would be willing to bet that cardrooms holing begginner lessons don't even mention it.
For what it's worth Tight I think you handled the situation well , I think I would have been leaving the premises too although in rather different circumstances. I look forward to the upshot of your meeting.
