The thing is, the vast majority of the time the F-word is used, it's not meant in any rude way. It's either a gesture of frustartion or a benign colloquialism. Neither use should be grounds for a penalty.

When I was at a Bike final table recently, one of the players said, in a complimentary manner to another player, "See? She don't fck around." We all said "Let it slide" but the floor heard it and he was on the rail for 10 minutes.

[censored] you. [censored] everyone that thinks this rule is a good one. You have no right to censor anyone, you [censored] nazi.

[censored] is one of the greatest words ever because it can be used in so many ways and still not be offensive.

I have no evidence one way or the other... but I find it hard to believe that this was "one of the most bizarre conclusions to any poker tournament in history."

The story that followed that lead-in was extremely disappoining compared to what I had cooked up in my mind with both players flopping quads with a fouled deck and the tournament being cancelled in favor of them playing a marathon heads-up chinese poker session for T5 per point (with no bonuses).

I'm an adult playing a game that requires you to be over 21 to participate, and playing it in a casino. I shouldn't have to watch my language like I was playing in an elementry school.

If there is a chance that cursing makes fish uncomfortable, why not restrain yourself from doing it? I understand the occasional slip, but grow up.

But that's the hting, I'm not saying I want to walk around @#$@# you, @#$@E$ this and YOUR!#%@# mom. But, sometimes, in normal conversation, or in a moment of frustration, I curse. I can watch my language when the situation dictates it, I'm saying that a Casino isn't a place I should have to watch my language.

It seems to me that even though they want to keep subjectivity to a minimum, it is very easy to determine the intent of the word in context. Makes me think it has more to do with general image than dealer/player abuse.

When a silly and widely disliked rule forces a player to change his entire strategy and revoke a "no chop" policy, costing him who-knows-how-much EV, it's noteworthy.

In one of my favorite gambling-related movies, Bite The Bullet, Dabney Coleman is the owner of the horse who is favored to win the race (the race itself plays out a lot like a poker tournament). When his top competition (Gene Hackman and James Coburn) get their horses stolen, Coleman gives them till the end of the day to recover the horses because the other way isn't a respectable way of winning the race.

Great movie.
