Ridiculous ruling in the APPT 6max event

[iwantbooze]

C_bomb: agree that you should bet the max if you're told that it will be binding.

The reason why you can't just

Say player A says bet and player B hears a bet on another table and believes the total bet to be 1500 and says call, but A hasn't announced yet. It would not be fair, to B for player A to arbitrarily determine a bet size.

Also please see my earlier post, the rules allow for leeway in a case of a misunderstood bet size (I'm not sure if that was the case in this hand).

Pretty sure i'd jam river. Pretty sure ruling is correct.

i think most of the other people on the table would have let me off lightly but i certainly can't blame him.

Can you recall/elaborate on the hand please?

Did you think he said an amount or did you hear 'bet' & get excited with a pretty good hand?

[itsover9000]

he said bet, he had chips in his hand, he hadn't put them over the line yet.

iwantbooze where did that extract come from?

C_Bomb: it's from robert's rules of poker which is the rulebook typically used/adapted for most casinos.

My understanding is star city uses these rules (except for a few small exceptions) which is why I believe the ruling was incorrect.

hahaha Egan that is awesome, bl though

At least you got a shitload of rungood left ova for the main

fwiw if I don't know the person I guess I just jam, if I know them I just bet standard I think, hard to day unless ur put in the spot imo..

The guy did absolutely nothing at all wrong, and shouldn't be penalised for playing his hand perfectly.

It's a great ruling, and more importantly it is the absolutely correct ruling 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.

Really dont think whether you jam here has anything whatsoever to do with whether you are an idiot.

Cant see how its a ridiculous ruling, find it more ridiculous that theres a 3 page thread even discussing it.

This plain and simple, isnt playing poker trying to make you opponent make the biggest mistake possible? I guess this dude just made the biggest mistake you could. No hard feelings, if i made the mistake id be filthy on myself not the guy maximising his chances through MY mistake.

Sucky way to go out of a tourney though
