I dont tend to agree with George saying "fair rulein" rather than standard set of guideliness. He aslo mentions that as long as he is the card room manager, all rule in will be based on the term "fair".
So all the rulein will depend on whether the inspector feels if it is fair or not. I am sure the rulein will not be consistent and different factors like age, gender, colour, regular, irregular, etc might impact a rulin and lot of external factors inluencing the game.
Not sure why they cant set a standard guidelines for rulein which is fair.

Obviously, if a situation falls within a very transparent rule then it's simple for us to make a ruling. However, it's not always as simple as, "He said raise after I went all-in." For example. The player who moved all in hasn't announced it very loudly, nor has he moved his chips over the line. Or, the dealer hasn't informed the next person to act that there has been an all-in. So, while it might be preferred that you just rue "You must now raise." every time, I think that it is important that when mitigating factors are involved that they are considered.
I find the insinuations of prejudice that you are bringing to this conversation, such as race and gender, to be highly offensive. I consider myself very impartial when it comes to resolving disputes in the poker room and I really think we're going to incredible extremes. While I am sure you were trying to make an example, I would rather we didn't continue down the path of accusation and bias. I'd rather you called us stupid.
in relation to this....
I was in the middle of all this. Literally in the middle.
Regardless of my views on the ruling or the outcome, it is worth taking in to account the previous 15 minutes.
You had a bad beat against lahlit for a massive pot. You had aa beaten by nines on the river.
your attitude after this happened was nothing short of embarrasing. We all have bad beats but we dont throw cards towards the muck for the next 5 hands.
You repeatedly splashed the pot when calling and placing blinds. I struggle to remember who the players were that were rolling there eyes, but i do remember exactly who the dealer was.
Not to be assuming, but I would come to the conclusion your attitude and nature at the table would be very intimidating to a dealer that has recently started at Luton.
You dont have to be a poker player or a genious to see they felt incredibly uncomfortable.
After acting like this I am surprised you have the cheek to even suggest anything else may have been at play.
After you left the mood of the table was uplifted and I would expect the dealer felt a weight lifted.
I was completely surprised by all of this as previously you have only come across as a gent. I HOPE this was a one off. If i was you my first visit after this to Luton would be to appologise the the dealer. Then again we all play differently.
