Commentating Penalty
We have a problem with people in our Home Tourney who think they need to commentate the hand. They say stuff like:
"Q9 looks good." "Be nice to have QJ." It irritates the crap out of me, and the host is capable of being swayed. When people want a change, they come to me. Other people are getting annoyed by this. So what's a reasonable penalty for doing this? Here are some ideas (some of which are absurd), but it needs to stop. 10 minutes 20 minutes 1 BB 2 BB Match the Pot $5 out of pocket |

Re: Commentating Penalty
I'm not a fan of a time penalty, as 10 minutes in a home tourney could only be 4 or 5 hands depending on how quickly you guys shuffle. The offender should be out until the button passes him (he loses a SB and a BB).

Re: Commentating Penalty
Adding to the pot is a common penalty but I think it's a terrible one. Time penalties are more likely the best penalty in a situation like this. Instead of a set time for a penalty just have them sit out one orbit. They'll miss one SB and one BB and then can continue.
Don't let them sit at the table while they're on a penalty, and get them to learn that they can't comment on the hand unless they're in the hand. JMB |

Re: Commentating Penalty
Someone not in the hand should just say, "STFU, one head to a hand you damn n00b!"

Re: Commentating Penalty
Is this really a bad offense worthy of penalty? Players in my home game constantly voice their opinion as to what players in the hand have. But bottom line: it's still a guess.

[/ QUOTE ] Most of the time, yes, this is true. But what about Player A leads out on a board of 99Q310. Player B is ready to muck, someone says "I wonder if one of the draws got there..." Player B re-checks his hole cards and finds J8 and calls. Does this not deserve a penalty? |

Re: Commentating Penalty
Shouldn't it be a penalty if someone says something to try to influence to outcome of a hand? Like "He's Bluffing!"
