Message: [QUOTE="PoKeRFoRNiA, post: 6768468, member: 51710"] I didnt know this. But is tournament director correct? So I was in middle of a tournament. There was a shortstack who had about 12bb. Chip leader in utg who has over 100bb raised to 2.5bb. Short stack in the button called. Flop was AT5. Big stack cbets out for 5bb. Short stack ponders for 5 minutes and then asks the chip leader "how many chips does he have?" In my head, im laughing bcz the chip leader has him covered, so it's easier to count his own stack than the chip leader's. I told the guy "he's got u covered." Dealer told me I'm not allowed to talk. But regardless, short stack ended up going all in and big stack called. Big stack had AT and short stack had A7 and got knocked out. Then tournament director came and gave me a warning saying "you cannot influence the players decisions, especially when you are not in the hand." I responded "the guy was wasting time and then asks stupid question like how much the chip leader has when its irrelevant because its not like he can win the entire chipleader's stack." Tournament director says "It may seem obvious to you but there are people who dont see it as obvious. Let them think for themselves and if they cant think for themselves, its their problem. You have a right to call the clock but you cannot influence someone to think of something." I apologized to the chip leader but he was cool about it and said he found it funny short stack is wanting count of his stack. Something new I learned. Does this apply to every poker room in casinos or just Vegas? [/QUOTE]
