No F-Word at WSOP

[BruinEric]

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.

I think these no cursing rules casinos are starting to implement are ridiculous. The game is played by adults and often gets emotional.

i may as well get the obvious post out of the way

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

Absolutely ridiculous. I was called down for this a lot last year at various casinos in vegas. Its clearly a stupid double standard. Think about it, there are tons of guys lining the strip handing out porn ads where <18 aged kids are but we cannot cuss in a pokerroom that only allows >=18 aged people??? Boy vegas is weird...

Read a hilarious article a month or two ago... Another casino had implemented the same rule, with several casualties during the day. When one player finally got eliminated, he stands up and shouts 'CAN I SAY F--- NOW?!'

in a room full of adults who can act their age, this rule isn't necessary. I believe at WSOP, however, the average maturity age is about 10

Given the way people have been acting on tv the last couple yrs, it's actually not the worst rule in the world -

So it's ok to scream, yell, jump up and down, taunt people, but if I say "man, I'm f'ing tired", I'll get a penalty?

That's f'ing stupid.

Everyone in the entire room during the ME should scream out the f-word all at once, so they can penalize the entire room for 10 minutes. That would rule.
