Mobiles at the table.

[mrmacacan]

What do we all think about mobiles at the table ?.

I hate them, at my games mobile phones are banned, slow the game down far to much.
Most casino's you can not use your mobile for a phone call, whats all that about, allow or ban them, simps.

So tilting when a dealer has to tell someone texting that it's their turn to act and they reply "I know"

I pads tilt me beyond belief (in cash games more so). You might aswell hold up a sign saying I am here all night lads and will play 2 hands an hour. I have never seen anyone play LAG with an Ipad.

No actually! Its been about a year since I moved back to London from Leicester. Is it really common at DTD? Its quite common down here.  The worst was the guy 8 tabling on teamviewer in run up to xmas to try and get supernova.

I will be the guy there tomorrow with the I-pad, so you can GTFO!

I don't need an I pad to play lag

Full orbit ban at my tables just for looking at a phone.

 


Half rules are no good,

Your gonna be playing on your own then mate.

[mrmacacan]

Sounds harsh don't it.

My games are probably the strictest in the UK, every rule is enforced be it petty or not, all players attending know that and there are no
problems or arguments.
Casino's should take a similar stance instead of different interpretations of rules.

Live poker is tilting enough as it is. If you ban phones then it can become plain dull. Do you have a similar stance on listening to music?

[millidonk]

Some of the rules are pretty com, some a bit harsh imo. The worst i have ever played was at Mandalay. Literally anything you did or said was penalised and they were proper cocks about it.

Some that caught my eye:

Telling anyone to turn a hand face up at the showdown - i know its bad etiquette but sometimes its a must especially when you are heads up. people who choose to exercise the right shouldn't be penalised imo .

Like the Cordiality ones but i know a few ppl who would struggle with some of these:

Be modest when you win.
Refrain from criticizing another player's play.
Limit unnecessary chatter to avoid disturbing active players.

Table Presence

Chips on the table are not to be transferred from one player to another. - Wording could imply it is impossible to lose a pot.

If you step away from the table, please advise the dealer of your intentions. - " Dealer, off for a piss mate"

I don't mind music, phones etc at the table. 

All I ask is that they please pay attention to the action in return.
