Default Re: Advising another player at a live tournament

[ QUOTE ]
Live $100+20 tournament. 7 players left, 4 places pay. Blinds 300/600/75. Players goes allin for 2600. Folded to BB with 600 left after posting. BB is old woman who is inexperienced player, but not real weak. She played kind of loose aggressive early on, playing a lot of hands and taking a lot of them down.

BB is prepared to fold. Another player tells her she is pot committed so she might as well call. She calls. Raiser is angry and says he could call the floor but doesn't. Raiser has 33, BB 76o. Flop is J34, and BB makes her gutshot. BB cashes and raiser does not.

Guy who gave the advice was not a good player. He was a retired fire captain. He was probably used to protecting people and was being protective of a woman.

Has anyone seen anything like this? What would floor have ruled?

This is a common problem. It is a violation of the basic rule "one player to a hand"

Unfortunately all that tends to happen when the floor is called is the florr tells the offender not to do that again. I don't think you can fairly penalize the BB here, she had not folded and was free to change her mind, and it is possible that she could have done so on her own. In a tournament situation I would like tosee the offender (the player who tells BB to call) be penalized.
