Rulings 101 (1 Viewer)

Welcome to the forum!

I have a legit question, probably answered already somewhere at PCF but I'd like to hear your view in it.

Forward motion. If I move some chips a tiny bit forward it doesn't count as a bet in NL. If I move them forward a lot it does count as a bet. When you have been dealing, where did you draw the line?

E.g., there's the famous incident at WSOP where someone clearly bet then pulled back and the ruling was that he didn't move the chips far enough for it to be counted as a bet.
If you're talking about the incident that I think you're talking about the ruling of no bet was made because there was no forward motion rule at all.

Can't find the clip, but it went down something like this:

Someone bets the river. He pushes in a tall stack, pulls it back, takes back some chips and pushes in a smaller stack. Everyone starts complaining. Finally the TD shows up (Jack Effel, perhaps?) and he asks the dealer how far it was initially pushed. Based on that answer he allowed the second bet.

In the aftermath someone asks the TD "so I'm allowed do this?" and proceeds to push his entire stack forward (way less than the villain), then back, then tosses in one chip. The TD says no (!?!?). Not really sure what the logic was.

I'm not sure which rules were in play, but I remember a lot of complaining! :)

Thats why a lot of tables (at least that I have played on) have a "betting line". Its basically a race track circle, but only in paint. Bets aren't actually made until chips cross that line Same with cards. If you fold, your cards go across the line.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure where the line goes between a bet and a non-bet when there's a betting line in place ;) , both ways have their respective pros and cons.
 
Ok, not to derail the derailment of this thread, but @casinochipper22 , do you have any insight into harvesting live chips (buying and then leaving with chips from the casino), and specifically the best way to get new or lightly used chips rather than hooker-juice crusted bicycle tires?

Ketchup is tomatoes, vinegar, and sugar. You wouldn't add 2 (or even all 3) of those to eggs. Therefore, ketchup should never go on eggs.
Give it a shot, you'd be surprised. Just ketchup on scrambled eggs, not with french fries also. That's just gross lol.
 
So I am brand new to the world of chip collecting. But I do have a decade of dealing/flooring under my belt. Maybe that could help add some value to the forum. I could try to answer any poker questions you may have. Rulings/decisions. Anything about poker.
Welcome man!
After all this humorous thread-jacking, you may rename the current thread "Hello" and a start a proper Rules and Rulings 101 thread.

I 've reached the conclusion that, at least for home games, where casualness prevails and hence it's more of a threat, any action involving chips (call, bet, raise) should be compulsorily verbal (starting with any of those three words) and binding. What about that?
 
Welcome. I’m curious about tipping at the poker table. Is tipping different at 1-2 vs 2-5? What is an average tip per hand? Is a $1 tip bad? Do you expect bigger tips on bigger pots? Do you get to keep your tips or are they split among all dealers or all table games? How many hands do you average per hour? At 30 hands per hour X $2 per hand = $$$. What’s the biggest tip you ever had? Thoughts on tips for tourney’s: Does only winner tip, should all cashers tip, what is a reasonable amount? Do people tip more when they are drunk? Do women tip better than men? Do young people tip more than old people? Any other thoughts or storys on tipping would be great.
 
Thoughts on tips for tourney’s: Does only winner tip, should all cashers tip
Great topic. Here are my thoughts, as a player.
I think I’m a fairly generous tipper - usually tipping 5-10% of my tournament profit. So if I’m in for $90 and out for $500, yeah, I’ll leave $40. The percentage goes down as the cash goes up though, so if I cash for $2,000, I’m probably only leaving $100. But I’ll freely admit that that’s how I tip in cardrooms where the dealers know me. If I’m at Foxwoods, I’m probably tipping half as much. That’s just life (though I think it might still be on the generous side of things.)

And I’ll say this. If I’m in for $90, and 7 hours later I min cash for $100, I’m pocketing that full ten bucks profit for my 7 hours of work, and not feeling bad about it. Sorry, dealers.
 
I thought he was talking about the Losev-Cantu hand... That seems to be scrubbed from Youtube.

Right? Me too! Couldn’t find it.

After binging the interwebz I can confirm that it is indeed that hand. @upNdown, the link in the third post in the thread you linked to is broken. But based on the comments that followed, I think it contained the hand in question.

Umm, tomatoes on eggs isn't exactly uncommon (heuvos rancheros, omelettes, etc.). Many salsas contain at least two and sometimes three of those ingredients.

Hell, I know people that use Worchestershire or HP sauce on eggs (not to mention hot sauces of varying descriptions).

Having said that, I agree, ketchup on eggs is a turn off for me. Hash browns/home fries - pile it on, but keep it separate from the eggs on the plate.
 
All I'm saying is try it, it's actually really good :) Or don't :)
I actually broke up with a girl I was living with... because she put ketchup on her eggs. I would rather acquiesce my position in the great hotdog sandwich debate than budge an inch on the ketchup/eggs food atrocity.

Unrelated to the thread (which has been raped and hijacked in a thousand ways), but relevant to your post:
A (Greek) friend of mine living and working in Germany felt it was high time to split up with his girlfriend and leave the country, when the girlfriend asked him 4.5E for gasoline spent and tyre wear, for driving him to the airport:D
Try making a Confederation with that kind of culture (let alone a single federal state:ROFL: :ROFLMAO:)

Probably cheaper than a taxi! As someone once said about divorce - it cost me half of everything I owned, and I would have paid twice that to get it over with!

A Belgian diplomat killed his wife with bare fists in the taxi, on the way to Athens airport, 40 years ago.
Nice International Law case.
It was deemed that he still enjoyed diplomatic immunity, so he had to be deported to his own country and stand trial there. :D

Well I can't top that story! This thread is truly and completely derailed now!
