You can't play poker standing up

[steamboatin]

After over three years of playing at Caesar's In they decided tonight that I couldn't be dealt cards unless I sat down. New dealer and floor people I didn't recognize insisted it was the rule that I couldn't be dealt cards if I was standing.

For those of you who haven't figured it out, I am fat. After about four or five hours of sitting, I start to hurt and I need to stand for a little while. A dealer I have never seen before starts her down and informs me I have to sit down if I want cards. I stand up on a regular basis and have for the pretty much the entire time I have been playing poker. I don't stand up for long 10 or 15 minutes just until I quit hurting and am ready to sit again.


Billy (poker room manager)just happened to be standing there when I decided to leave and He said He would talk to the floor about it.

All this venting aside, is standing up against the rules everywhere or just tonight at Caesar's IN?
