Ruling

Dq for me too. what a douche

[dik9]

If he was asked to wait for the TD and a ruling was called for, and I asked the dealer what happened. If the dealer explained it how you did I would disqualify him.

What would you do with his chips?

Would they just be removed from the tournament?

Unfortunately although it will change the dynamics if it was a "very big pot", yes.

I would not advise any TD to try and split chips or reconstruct action as this is a slippier road and would lead to too many complications later in that comp and even later in other comps.

He would be awarded the pot as the last man standing with live cards and would be awarded a penalty, the penalty is for refusing to show and would be awarded after the hand. The penalty is enhanced from not showing when trying to influence a decision after the floor has been called (grabbing pot, mixing own chips in and deliberately mucking cards deep as to not be recovered).  Disco'd and chips removed.

How has the pot been taken away from the dealer? Definite Dq. Set an example ffs.

Regarding "TD's being weak".

I have to defend the majority of them, as a lot of places cardrooms are still of no real concern to casinos. A cardroom is seen as something a casino should have but not really wanted. Cardroom staff very rarely get backed by managers and some customers have an invisible untouchable cloak dependant on how much they drop at the tables. Working in casino's I have had times when I have been overuled by GM due to customers status swiftly followed by my resignation.

The beauty of DTD is status counts for nothing and all is fair, the managers accept the decision of TD without reason. (that's what they pay us for).

I've seen a couple of 's.  However they were incidents where you should be getting chucked out of where ever you are (one was a guy flipping a table, another was a guy walloping another guy).  So yeah, take your point, it is pretty hard to get a .

Most ruling threads on here are extreme examples and warrant disqualification, whether they get disqualified or not depends on post above. I have personally disqualified at least 6 at DTD in 4 years, in casino cardrooms 2 in 20 years (if I had had backing it would be more). Excluding drunks that I have withdrawn.
