I had a very similar situation in the Grand Prix, but had a much more experienced dealer and therefore got away with it. All I can say is if this ever happens, drop the other chips like theyre on fire and its easier to argue your corner lol

It's often suggested that we should verbalise our bets to avoid this issue and I've tended to agree, but it occurs to me that I could string bet verbally by declaring "six... teen"

Verbalising bets is a good idea for sure, but should never be mandatory because players often give off more tells with their voice than their actions.

Going off topic but the disabled analogy interested me. Seems more and more spaces are allocated to badge holders seemingly often resulting in large empty areas near entrances of supermarkets etc. I have a problem that periodically makes walking VERY painful and it tilts me that i struggle to the shop walking past empty spaces, I would love to save myself the agony at times but for the rules.

I see people point and get excited when they see a string bet. Like they just spotted some injustice. The same reaction they would have to somebody parking in a disabled bay. 'You can't do that!'
oh yes I can

It's not only the rules but it's one of those things members of the public seem to police vigorously. They will generally do a mini medical assessment when you exit the vehicle and if they conclude there is no obvious physical deformity you will be lynched. Best bet is to limp away wincing in pain or bent over holding back. If they see your life is spent in suffering agony they will usually nod their approval and move on.
Another thing the public police with vigour is hard shoulder driving. I hit stationary traffic last night about 1 mile from my junction and drove down the hard shoulder to a chorus of beeps and boos like I was an evil panto villain.

You are an evil panto villain for that...
but on a similar topic I get royally pissed off when people (frequently truck drivers) block a lane to prevent a zip merge in a queue towards a lane closure.

Driving on hard shoulder is deffo not cool and you should be pelted with rotten tomatoes whilst tied to a cross trainer at your gym.
Agree on the zip merging, lorries are the nut worst for it.

buuut, who was the opponent david? Someone that comes out with an intention to angle should be ripe for some proper abuse/new degree of shooting.

But I drive the M42 every day and you can always use the hard shoulder for next junction exit cos the highways agency think it's a sensible use of that lane and it reduces the queue. Unfortunately if you apply the same logic yourself without first being told through the medium of a sign it is a public outrage. Wait this guy is thinking for himself, what a bastard.

At the sections of motorway that you are allowed to use the hard shoulder there is additional monitoring to try and ensure the safety of motorists who have broken down. If everyone did the same as you there is a possibility that the hard shoulder becomes blocked too. What happens when the emergency services want to get to an emergency. Evil man

buuut, who was the opponent david? Someone that comes out with an intention to angle should be ripe for some proper abuse/new degree of shooting.
wish I could remember his name. I did herbiesearch© him but there was nothing to see. He was Seat 1 table 33 at the start of Tuesday's GP Day1. His mate in Seat 2 was a nob too, again his name has gone but the herbiesearch© showed two small flags, a small cash in a £50 sidey at the Irish Open and a min cash in a GUKPT which I'd guess he satellited into. Seat 2 was actually a bigger pain than Seat 1. Took forever to make a decision and did it with loads of theatrical huffing and puffing before folding with the big 'I can't believe you got there, this hand had you crushed till you hit that miracle river' routine. He called the clock on himself at one point when I'd cold 4bet his 3bet. Claimed he was folding QQ but I'm 100% certain he didn't.
I'll check my ipad history later if you really want to know, but I doubt he plays the same events as Alex mfkn Martin.
