Another tedious ruling thread

[smashedagain]

rofl jason that blackpool ruling sounds like the worst thing ever.

could play online where this doesnt happen :p

lol. made day 2 5th in chips. opened the bag up and was a couple of grand light. both dena and myself counted em the night before so was sure  of the amount. i assumed ian was from newcastle area but mallu told me he was card room manager in his home town of bolton. offered to get me his home address but politely declined his offer.

A player has been missed FFS that is why betting has not completed. It is not gross misunderstanding!

What job do you do Nana?

Nothing to do with poker I'm a post grad student.

The point I was making though was the fact that because a player has been missed the betting wasn't completed. The fact a flop was dealt has no bearing on whether the betting was completed or not.

My argument in this scenario is that because of the gross misunderstanding, and the fact that there has been no action after him, player A can have his options reopened. The fact that a flop was dealt doesn't matter, as as we can see this doesn't signal the end of a betting round. The gross misunderstanding rule is designed to offer a certain amount of protection for certain situations where a player misunderstands the size of a wager. This is one of them imo. It just so happens in this case we have to redeal a flop.

With all due respect, and please don't take offence! But sometimes I would like to roll Roberts Rule of Poker up and force it down ya neck lol (This is said in jest btw)

IT IS NOT A GROSS MISUNDERSTANDING BY A PLAYER, IT IS A DEALER ERROR!

That Gross misunderstanding rule is bollox anyway, if someone has raised at DTD and someone puts the original bet in without realising. That stays in the pot and they have the option to call, tough shit on the player ... they should have been following the game

I was at DTD about 3 weeks ago, and kind of fell foul of this, although maybe I should have asked - at 50/100 seat 8 raises to 400 (I thought), I call (said "call", put 400 in) from button in seat 2 with something iffy like 89o (about 7 feet from seat 8 ). Turns out he's raised 900 and the 500 chip is hiding. Because I thought I knew the DTD rule, I assumed if I folded there my 400 would be forfeit. So called the rest (good after bad, I know) and sigh-folded to a big bet on the useless flop.

Should I have asked what my options were there? Could I have had the 400 back? There was no action after me, I was corrected immediately.

Oh, and LOL at CF answering "student" when asked what his job is. He said 'JOB'.

Rex ..... If you said call then you have to call the 900, If you just put 400 in the pot assuming the call, and was told it was 900 then you have the option to forfeit the 400 and fold.

CF I cannot remember my account details to TDA Forum and it wont let me reregister. I have searched the forum for relevant posts but can only come up with 2 similarish scenarios. Both give chips back to a player.

If I remember correctly Chet seemed to have his head screwed on, on other threads I have read, as opposed to the majority of uk td's on there. I know it isn't the same scenario but you get the gist.
