Re: Hawaiian Gardens - Floorman Screwup
The key here, which I think you guys are missing is action behind me. There was none. Therefore, according to RRP (which HG uses) under General Rules, Betting and Raising, Rule #12, I had the right to muck my hand becasue I never released chips into the pot. They were in my hand. The whole motion(s) happened in maybe 2 seconds. It was obvious that I was thinking, not looking around to see what was about to happen behind me, as in taking a shot. I've never taken a shot in 15 years, and I didn't start last night.
Several at the table, including a couple of props were on my side, and the dealer was on my side, because they know me. I play at HG every day. The floorman on the other hand, was a graveyard guy who I've never spoken to much, and I think he was in the top section relieving the main floor who was on lunch break.
I'll find out for sure this afternoon though. Thanks for the responses.
