Was playing a £30 d/c game in my local casino recently and made the final table.
The guy who was chip leader is a known rock who rarely plays hands weaker than 99 or AQ and almost never bluffs. Four places off the final table he gets a rush of cards which includes AA ,KK ,AA ,QQ and TT and knocks out 4players out after another till FT.
On the FT he has 70% of the chips in play with 6 of us including me with 3 big blinds or less.
On the chip leaders big blind UTG goes all in for almost 2 big blinds its passed round to big chip leader and he folds saying if his ace 8 was suited he may have called.
Obviously the whole table are reluctant to make any moves till a few are eliminated and we move up the pay ladder.
On the chip leaders next 2 big blinds someone goes all in for double and almost treble the big big blind.On both occasions he passed ,one time tabling 55 face up for only 1.8 big blinds.
The question i want to ask is can his actions be classed a chip dumping/passing? Although its not in his game to intentionally pass chips , his style of play makes his blind an easy target. Most players would not hesitate to call blind for 1.8 blinds more with 7-2 off never mind pocket 5's when the call represents probably 5% of your stack.
It peed me off a bit as the game requires players to get knocked out in order to make more money and with his stack didn't make any raises or call with medium aces.Obviously he is en tiltled not to raise or bluff but in some of the spots where the call was mandatory where he passed could i have called the supervisor over to explain what he had done.If so what could the penalty be ? Or am i powerless and just have to endure his ineptness.

Just sounds like a clueless nit rather than anything else

He's done nothing wrong. Bad play, but nothing against the rules.

As long as he's consistent in who he's gifting these chips to then I don't really see anything wrong.

sounds like the whole table are pretty bad to me. a chip leader who won't call and 6 players on <3BB who are 'reluctant to make any moves' even though the big stack won't call them

the TD can step in and force him to call, it has been known before. Irrc I read an article on this subject in a back edition on pokerplayer and thomas K said he had made someone call (the raise was ubber nominal) as it was on the bubble of a big event.
Having said that. If the guy is folding to everyone you can't say its chip dumping, just stupid play. Guess it falls to the TD to decide
