It's an anti collusion/ante spoiler rule. The one that usually confuses me is the pot bet. It seems that subject to local rules where a pot bet can be the size of the pot as it stands, or the size of the pot if you had called. PoolDemon never understood this one, went to the local casino, sat down wearing only my chaps, & they wouldn't deal me in, some BS about a dress code, like I'm going to wear a dress FFS...

Notice that i have never been on a casino yet, so i might be wrong here.. Miklosik The only two ppl that can talk about a hand during play are the two that are involved in the HU. We had this exact convo at the casino last night. RenoPoker How about the ruling that men can play in "women only" tournaments. Otherwise they are guitly of sex descrimination. They should at least make the men wear a dress if they want to play in women's tournyes. addam00 the  other  thing   if i had aces and i was  involed in the play. and  i told  the person i had aces..  that is  not allowed  but if  i did  not have  aces    and  told  that i had aces    while  in play that is  allwed  but i guess the only way to find that out  is  if  you call.. for expample  look at what  tj said  in wsop 2003 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9TCAUP-fEQ&feature=related i  was  reading the rules  on alot of the  online sites  and they have the  same rule...i addam00 here  is another example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyyNMoTv0p0 Know-nuffin Shakey was out of line there. addam00 Know-nuffin wrote: Shakey was out of line there. just a bit. addam00 I love this tony G video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHPyYnJKFs Know-nuffin Great find Adam.   The players took it in good humour, but I can only imagine how sick I would feel making that mistake. DangerMouse Nice find, that is very sick. Miklosik couldn't have happened to a nicer guy imo.        ALTERNATE POKER FORUM Forum Index -> Poker Strategy & Rules Page 1 of 1
