Re: Another floor ruling on mucked cards thread ( from Taj on Fri )
I know that the seat 10 guy is just angle shooting, and its not in great interest to the 'spirit of the game'
but rules are rules.
there are some things like this that are in the gray area.
if its in the gray area, usually a harsh descion should be made so the person learns from it.
plus, where do you draw the line?
can a player grab his cards from the muck if both slightly touch? what if the cards are 25% in the muck? what about 49%? 50%? 51%? 99%?
its just impossible to come up with a truly fair rule in that case. So a harsh strict one is the best way to do it, as in, if the cards touch the muck at all.
At least in my opinion
