your rulings please

I dont think this is anything like Brighton

The Original raiser is just staing the obvious. The BB has less than a pot sized bet - so the BIG STACK raiser isnt folding any 2 cards - even if he is holding 23 on a AKQ board!


I dont even think this is angle shooting! We need to bring common sense back into the game. It is funny - I e-mailed Jonathon Rabb and asked him to clarify the ruling after Brighton - as it will fiilter down to small acard rooms and home games in a chinese whispers stylee! And ta dah - "speech play rulings required" on every forum!

It is a game of psychology as well as skill! Unless someone is knowingly cheating - then i think we need to move on and get on with the game. If you ask me the person who asks for a ruling is angle shooting - not the person using speech play!

For the record - in your example - he was specific enough to have bet out of turn - action is binding. For your friend in the Big Blind - so bad - just so so bad! Get em in - he aint passing!

interesting that there are people in both camps with what is right or wrong here.

suprise suprise i was the big stack here and held 5 3 hearts the flop came king high 2 hearts so i was not passing for shit but still happy for him to fold as well and take the pot as i was obviously behind at the time.

saving time didnt work as he dwelled up until another player called a clock and then eventually checked and imediatly announced all in and he passed grumbling and whining.

At dtd300 some guy on my table said "If anyone raises next hand i'm all in" the dealer said before he had dealt the cards  it was binding it was ment as just a joke but it was said and the dealer said it stood.Obv everyone folded otherwise would've been much more fun sigh

If this is binding it's a terrible rule imo.

Imagine a bubble situation with 1 big stack who's using it to his advantage. He just declares that he's all in every hand no matter what and suddenly everybody needs AA or KK to be able to play because it's binding.

Making it stand if everyone checks is fair enough but if there's action it can't be made to stick.

Otherwise by being forced to play the idiot gets a huge advantage as nobody else is allowed to use the bubble to gain any chips.

I'd say no, nothing wrong.

But that ruling at the GUKPT a month or so ago opens a big can of worms here...

lol, sounds like frustrated dealer syndrome.

Fed up of seeing lousy plays by lousy players every day and this makes dealer believe that they are, relatively speaking, some kind of omniscient poker super being.

Wants to make plays, (because what self respecting omniscient poker super being wouldn't) but hasn't got any chips.

Makes a fucked up officious ruling instead.
