I wish the correct decision was made either way and am finding it difficult to accept the result. I have been playing poker for 22 years and have always tried to play with the best intentions. I asked for a ruling under the circumstances not to gain an advantage but to clarify the chain of events. I now have to live with being vilified by onlookers and people that weren't there and have no grasp of the situation. I can only apologise for creating a storm when i only wanted a ruling and whether people choose to believe or accept it i wasn't trying to gain an advantage and would have gladly passed the chips over if the decision was made differently. I trust that whatever happens that the game of poker that we play week in and week out will continue to go forward smoothly as soon as possible.

Lethal I understand that decisions made in 'the fog of war' do not always reflect the angels of our better nature. As I said while not knowing you long I found you to be a good bloke. I also believe that the distress you showed at the next break was not feigned. Nor was the offer you made to Jacky.
However you are right you will have to live with your decision. And I don't imagine it will be easy. Yet it may be worth noting that that if Jacky hasn't castigated and impugned you then perhaps it isn't the place of others to do so in his stead.
