i'm over in Riga with ScotlandStu and a couple of others and we played the plo rebuy tonight at the olympic casino. Stu was in a pot that would have had him close to the chip lead. His opponent bet the turn with all the chips in front of him and Stu called and turned over his cards. The opponent then revealed a chip hidden in his hand and asked for Stu's hand to be declared dead which it was.......
Anyone ever heard worse?

Not sure that is relevant - the player pushed all his visible chips in and concealed one remaining chip. His intention was clearly to give the impression that he was allin |

thats a ridic ruling. Demand refund and speak to manager.
reminds me of dodgy thing that happened with some fit oriental bird in the bellagio 1knl game. She declares allin (for what appears to be $1500ish) and some guy calls, then he realises that the card protector she's using is a $5k chip. He covers her and she has the nuts.

Unfortunately it's rulings like that which actually encourage some less self-conscious players to try that sort of stunt, if the TD or whoever is making the ruling laughed in their face and told them to stop being ridiculous players wouldn't try it on - I can't make my mind up who is worse here, the player or the official.

Sod the cards, how are the beautiful women of Riga lol you know how beautiful they are. (for anyone else the most beautiful in the entire world) bit of an update the casino does now admit it was an incorrect ruling. We chatted with a dutch player who won the comp and he said not only did the c*nt try the same stunt again but he also tried to claim that he had more chips than an opponent on the hand he was eliminated (in fifth place if anyone wants to know his name) We didn't play tonite's comp in protest and the poker manager will talk to Stu tomorrow about it and if stu is ok we will play the nights comp(obv its not about the money but the principle). |
