Why would you want to wear one of these?

For those of you who don't know him, this is Hoss Parhazkar, who I believe won a big event last year at his local Grosvenor in Southampton.

If you read the thread last night, you may recall an interesting situation where Hoss said 'bet' pre-flop before under-raising. The supervisors were called over, and Hoss was made to call, which he was furious about. "It was obvious I wanted to raise," he said to me last night. But, alas, they didn't let him, concluding that 'bet' was an ambiguous term. If it was me, I would have let him raise, even though he's not actually betting (due to the blinds) simply because it's clear to everyone what he's trying to do. However, technically speaking, he doesn't have a leg to stand on because not only did he under-raise, but he also incorrectly announced his action.

Common sense should prevail for me in these situations though.

This really peeves me off. The opening bet is exactly that right= A BET. Therafter any larger bet is termed a raise and any larger bet a re-raise. I once played a comp at the old Luton where i said "bet", stuck in a 3* BB no of chips and ridiculously someone complained and it went as a CALL.

Hoss is a top man, not sure if he has the necessary moves needed to win however.

My moneys on Roberto, everyone thinks he's the bollocks, which means he probably is.

I would have thought it would be a raise because you are raising the blinds. Isn't a bet when the players have an equal investment in the pot?

any news on who's still in the £200 last longer that channing organised?

Good luck to Dave Smith in the Final.

There is little point in arguing over the technical terms. The intention to raise was clear, this is where common sense comes in and the raise goes. It states at the bottom of all Grovesnor rules that, the rules can be changed for the good of the game.

 This sounds like angle shooting by the other players.

2 of my 3 picks - Feldman & Zach - are still in.

How remarkable that the 2 Romanello brothers have gone this deep! The Boatmans apart, are there any or the successful "brothers" in UK Tourney Poker? I guess there are the Chattas, the Khajuria guys, any others? Oh, & The Doc's two sons, Aris & ?.....

My brothers (17 & 14) smash up their poker night every Friday

The remaining players (Greco, Romanello, Smith, Zach) have decided to split the spondoolies.

Yes, I agree, but I'd like to say that I don't believe there were any complaints from the players. From what I understand, it was the dealer who queried it. Would need to confirm that before officially pointing the finger though.
