Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 1794529, member: 23910"] FWIW that's not necessarily the reason. I played in this same room a few weeks ago and after I folded what I'd decided was going to be my last hand I stood up, got some racks and came back to the table. I was racking all my chips when the next deal started, but I hadn't actually [i]said[/i] "I'm leaving, don't deal me in" so I got dealt cards... which I promptly folded and then left. I think my point is racking your chips isn't a universal sign for "I'm not playing any more" in this particular card room and they'll keep dealing you hands until either you tell them not to or you and your money both leave the table. He could have racked everything and probably still would have been dealt a hand if he was at the table. While I expect that would have been the case, I believe the ruling about the rest of his money was supposed to apply to this hand (ie: he's made an open raise to $33 rather than being all in, so if someone raises and he folds he can keep the $1.4K he has behind). No, that would have been a horrible ruling IMO. Remember that above all else the floor is supposed to rule in the interests of fairness, even if it means bending or breaking the technical rules. The player in question is, apparently, a fish - he probably doesn't even understand what going south is or why it's wrong. Regardless, it's obvious he [B]never[/B] intended to put the entire $1.4K at risk on this hand. Unless there is reason to think that the player is attempting a deliberate angle shoot, do people honestly think it's fair that he be made to put the whole $1.4K at risk?!? I've got no idea what the technical ruling would be (I can look it up if people are interested) but FWIW I think the floor probably made a fair and reasonable decision. [/QUOTE]
