Yes, except a player has the right to get up and leave at any time, then sit down again and buy in for up to the maximum. Since there is a legal & ethical way to evade the rule, the rule makes no sense to me.

I believe the Borgata has a rule that if you return to a game of the same limit within one hour, you must return with the same amount you took off the table. You can't just stand up, spin around, and sit back down with chips stuffed in your pockets, even if there is no list.

Default lol, uh, what HE said!

Don't be such a friggin' wimp. At the FIRST instance of ratholing by the a-hole, I would perhaps have told him about the table stakes rule. If he asked me if I would turn him in, I would say "yes, either you bring that money back up NOW or I call the floorman." These friggin' jerk-offs KNOW they are breaking the rules so SCREW them if they don't like it.

ANY unethical or rule-breaking behaviors should be instantly dealt with by alerting the dealer or calling the floorman.

Players should police there tables. It helps with the integrity of the room. If allowed to continue, it could affect the room detrimentally.

What are you gonna do about it? What a line that guy gave. Yeah, i am, dork! Eat ****!

[ QUOTE ]
particularly not the jerk-off internet wanna-be players who have no idea how to conduct themselves in a real cardroom

[/ QUOTE ]

In fairness, i haven't run into these types much. But a line that slows them down and hits their ego a bit is, '1st time in a cardroom?'

Default Re: Unethical behavior at the table-- how do you handle it?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not there to be the table cop, I'm there to play the game, hopefully make some money, and have a good time. If there were a better place to play live in New England, I'd definitely go there but I'm stuck with the 'Woods for now. I have no problem speaking up when there's a rule being broken but, on this particular day, there were so many that I just didn't want to deal with it. I should've either kept pointing things out or gone home but I didn't. Being the rules Nazi really cuts down on the amount of enjoyment I'll get out of playing.

If it continues to be a problem in the room, you not saying anything contributes to it.
