Default Re: A poker \"buddy\" killed himself today

[ QUOTE ]
Though it would infuriate many players I would like to see gambling handled like drinking is. When a guy in a bar has had too much to drink often they will stop serving him. I don't know how that would be done with playing poker if it could be done at all.

I would love to see someone try to throw out Gus Hansen because they think he's tilting!

What about all of the players who just act stupid and aren't?

I think that this is a terrible idea. People are responsible for their actions. If they don't want to believe that, then that's their own problem.

If they don't know any better, then that's one thing. But every casino I've ever been in has GA signs all over the place.

What would my recourse be if some floor person told me I couldn't play anymore because he thought I was on tilt and made me quit a good game?

This whole protecting people from themselves is silly. Either you are free to decide things for yourself or you're not.

Don't keep changing the rules in the middle.

I know, you can institute a test that people can take to get their poker license. Then you can present your license at the table and get a ticket if you go on tilt.

Why not just seize all of the guy's assets and arrest him until he calms down and can't hurt himself anymore?

Where would you draw the line? What would you say when others want to draw the line deeper than you do?
