Ridiculous ruling in the APPT 6max event

[Nauv]

Is this an official rule? Would be interested to hear if it's left up to the TD's descretion or is dealt with specifically in a rule book.

One thing that irks me about rules left upto TD's descretion is that a certain casino in this country treats it's regs who play in large tournament series completely different to how it treats the rest of it's 'unknown' player base... I
Am def not referring to starcity by the way.

this is definitely one of those 'spirit of the game' things... and unfortunately, the spirit of poker is exploitation, so you can't really bemoan a guy for shoving here. i definitely base whether or not i shove on how much i like the person, and how much i would like them to continue playing poker.

so i would 80% pot my friends, and anyone who is likeable and really bad at poker. but anyone competent that i'm neutral towards personally where there is no chance it is going to put them off playing poker, i would shove.

fwiw the guy's a rly nice person and all. but it's poker, i don't know what i would do vs unknown. probably evaluate it like seabeast

the moment the guy calls ( without obviously holding the NUTS ) he is saying in no uncertain terms " I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE THE NUTS ". This belief should be so solid that a call of $1 or a call of all-in wouldnt matter to caller.

Therefore, caller should be punished full bore with stack.

And no correspondence should be entered into either way.

You took a shot at calling a "suspected bluff"

You were wrong.

GG

Nice hand

Good luck all.

How many hero players have called here with ACE HIGH and then been treated like the 2nd coming cos "what a read that guy has".

And regulating your bet , dependent on whether u liked the guy or is a friend???????

Your sisters' cunt.

EVERY player should be treated equal.

( collusion, otherwise )

At the poker table, no friends,,,,or go sit at the play money tables and rib one another...or playfully throw an M&M at each other like a 12 year old school girl.

Poker is poker.

No mates.

PUSH ALL IN for mine.

Why would doing anything other than shoving not be softplaying?

To clarify, when you are considering whether to call a bet from an opponent, you don't consider the size of the bet to be relevant? This is a revolutionary approach to the game.

[Hof]

You call for a reason when you dont have the nuts

and that reason is usually

" I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU AND WHAT I DO BELIEVE IS THAT I HAVE A HAND STRONG ENOUGH TO BEAT YOU ".

the size of the bet dont matter,.,.otherwise they would MILK you all tourney with 2bb or 4bb bets on the river and make you their calling station bunny.

If you think you have BEST hand, the amount dont matter

Of course, THIS play takes courage...

and too few have this quality.
