a ruling from last night (sticky)

Dude, my foot would be SORE from all the kicking people in the friggin' nuts I would have to do after this one!

First off, let's start here...

The dealer himself begins to argue with the floor!

All was fine up until this point! OOF! Kick!

Instant write up as far as I am concerned. Hell, you can burn down the cash podium and I won't write you up for it, but arguing with the floor is grounds for a good nut kicking, and some rather "unpleasant" paperwork to boot!

Now ANOTHER PLAYER (AP) gets involved

Grounds for an instantaneous and robust nut kicking!

NEW FLOORMAN: Why did you muck?
ME: I got a ruling, it was my turn to act, I chose not to call the $60, I mucked.

Get this...

NEW FLOORMAN: What did you have?

Now that you've gotten a decision, and your hand is mucked, this does seem rather ludicrous!

Holy cow batman, my foot is sore.

I hope you learned one important lesson here - the "betting line" when there is no official betting line is the imaginary line in front of your cards. Although your nuts wouldn't be nearly as sore as some other people's in this situation, I hope you'll at least remember that in the future.
