Lol at this story if true. Star city was not the casino I was referring to earlier in the other thread.

But it does beg the question if the ruling would have remained the same in the appt 6 max event if instead of Michael Egan being the villain it was let's say another star city regular.

Most ppl have probably heard about a reg on this forum that won his first live tourney a few years back and the verbal slouch he got into with a live reg and was even physically threatened when he called out the live reg for a clear angle shoot. I was at the table at the time. It was complete bullshit

At an anzpt event this year I was playing at a table in a tournament and saw a reg sitting at the table talking on his phone while a hand he was not involved in was in progress. Numerous supervisors where nearby and did nothing.

About 5 mins later I decided to send a quick text, while seated and also not in a hand. I know this was completely wrong but did it anyway as no one seemed to care. I recieved a stern warning by a supervisor and was disgusted. I muttered something along the lines of 'I fucking hate that regs get treated different to others here'

Greame putt who was two seats to my left said 'I'm a reg and i don't get special treatment' the guy directly to my left agreed with him which made me even more furious.... Then....

5 mins later the reg that was originally on the phone gets back on his fone... The same supervisor walks straight past him, sees him on the fone... Does NOTHING....

I turn and stare at Greame and the other guy to my left and the guy to my left concedes...'Maybe you've got a point'

There have been numerous other double standards that I won't bother to mention but it sux for live poker. Danny and the team at stars do an awesome job I feel but certain casino stuff need to drop their chumminess with regs at big Tourny series...
