No F-Word at WSOP

[goofball]

context is everything. I've dropped teh F bomb at the tables several times over the course of my time in vegas (usually a sign it's time to go home) and only been chastised once. The time I was it was because the dealer thought I said "[censored] you" to another player when in reality i said "[censored]' A". Usually the times i use it are a low volume exasperated fuuuuuuuck which usually garners no response.

It should only be punished if it is affecting the pace of the game or if it in any other way inhibiting regular play.

A little vid over at cardplayer.com about the WSOP rule. In short, if you say the F-word at the table, the floorperson can issue you a 10 minute suspension.

If you pay $10,000 into the Main Event and lose a pot with the best hand, to some amateur, the last thing you need after that depressing blow is some official giving you the equivalent of a football "yellow card".

My God, it's enough to make you kill someone I say! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

OK, instead, when someone puts a bad beat on me, I'll just say, "JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Not a problem, if bad bat KO's you, F-bomb all you like.

What are they going to do, have you sit out longer while on the rail?

Then I'd have to go out on a limb here and say they're F'd.

Brilliant, in my opinion.

Out of 6600 players there will be 6599 who get eliminated at some point.

Some of these eliminations will be of a slightly more 'unlucky' variety.

I say, "Deal with it."

99.9% of the players are going to lose all of their chips somewhere along the way.
If you're not prepared for this possibility then you are a moron.

Saying, "F-this. F-that." just seems to imply that the loser thought he was 'too good' to lose.


I've played in one live-tourney before ($10k EF PPM cruise) but otherwise have ZERO experience playing for this much money so perhaps I am underestimating the emotions involved as well as the fatigue factor of several days at the table (although the F-bombs will likely fly just as much from the day-1 elims too).

I'm a virtual cuss-a-holic much of the time so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if I somehow turned out to be the world's biggest hypcocrite regarding my opinions expressed in this thread.
You guys may get to eventually read about my 5 seperate 10-20 minute time-outs for all I know.

But for now I stand my opinion that the players should 'Man Up', show that you've 'got a pair', and stop bitching.

Any 2+2er going should use the same word instead of f k. May I recommend after a bad beat any 2+2er shout out "I BLAME SKLANSKY FOR THIS".

[newhizzle]
