Wrong or should be allowed

[tikay]

In Luton using your phone when you have cards results in your hand being dead. Same at DTD.

Same at any well-run establishment, imo.

Keep up - its been changed.

[bolt pp]

but a chap at the table pointed out people use similar items when playing online whats so different?  

Lots and lots, the two things are apples and oranges.

You can play online and get your wife to mind your comp while you go to the toilet, so should this be allowed live?
How about playing in the nude, or another 100 stupidly ridic things that you can do online but not live.

Nonsense argument imo.

So will live poker get to the stage of every git with an Iphone/PDA/ mobilephone etc have the right to utilise its techology to gain an edge?

lol, no

No credible venue would allow such a thing

what about in the Cincinnati kid that guy plays writing everything down in his book, if he's doing math is the book and pen not allowed?

1) Its a film
2) There is a world of difference between working something out yourself on a piece of paper and using a computer.

Think you'll find DTD's rule on this has also changed subtly.

I still tell people to not use their phones at the table.

If the rule has been changed, they ought to try telling the dealers for a change instead of making loads of rule adjustments between themselves and not passing the relevant information down. I'll clarify this when I get into work and find out if they're now allowed. I know that the Vic allows the use of phones, though I am not sure on the validity of it now being a "Grosvenor wide" change.

I've been wrong before, however.

Walsall allows phones too

I would encourage any donk who wanted/needed to use poker stove!

Poker maths are not that difficult! Well - not to make that kind of table decission anyway.

FWIW -  i dont think it should be allowed but wouldnt care if they did allow it!

Out of curiosity - where would we go to see up-to-date rule lists for each group of casino's?? 

Are announcements made at casino's when ruling changes have been made? - and if they are surely they are not announced after a week or so, so for a non regular player we'd miss any annoucements. 

Just wondering whether it's a case of asking the dealer or calling for a ruling if self-dealt, if unsure of anything?

tbf I'm assuming rather than knowing 100% that it's a grosvenor wide rule change. it's on the posters which are all round walsall's card room detailing this and the new rules on being at your playing position in time for the last card and a new hand starting at the riffle

DTD you can have a phone at the table now, but not use it when you are involved in a hand ............. still prefer no phones at the table. With new technology some new rules should be in force IMO. Ipod touches for example have internet access.
