Warboat, why did you believe you were able to buy an entry to the State Champs from another player?

Harps, STOP.

You said that, and you had 2 different TD's (1 prior, 1 current) completely disagree with you. That statement is all kinds of wrong.

If you think Warboat is being a tool how do you think you're being perceived right now?

Melton Tabcorp Park is a new 888 venue and they had trouble trying to get numbers for games at the first event. 4 players turned up. My GF won it.
To attract the numbers for this particular friday night event, they had a special promotion where 1st and 2nd gets seats to the State Semi. You didn't need points accumulated or even played in any 888 events prior. You just had to bink 1st or 2nd and you got a ticket.
It was assumed and in the end confirmed by Ernie that whoever came 1st or 2nd could effectively transfer that ticket to anyone who played in this event. If you can transfer tickets, then its negotiable whether 888 likes it or not. Dollars will exchange if tickets can be transferred.
I understand that normally you can't acquire entry to State S/F this way, but these 2 seats were special entries.

Caleb not when said railer is bringing the game into disrepute. I have had 2 TD's "1 is now an X TD whom is also a friend" say they would of kicked his arse out after him disrupting players & questioning the dealers/TD decision making. Nathan & Ernie on this thread.

1 this is just showing he is trying to make trouble. Have to play a minimum number of games in a season to qualify.

Guys, it is a completely wrong interpretation of the rules to say that the muck stands. It is an ALLIN situation, and it is not like the cards have even touched a muck pile, we are 3 handed....THERE IS NO MUCK PILE!! those cards are easily identifiable, and should have been returned to the BB if the situation was how it is described, and at the very least, the SB was still live if you enforce the muck.

So there should have been a show down in there somewhere...

*Also, I am not questioning Ernie's integrity, he's a great guy, I am just confused at why no one from the league seems to want to admit that the wrong ruling was made?

[warboat]

I would also like to highlight that the ONLY hand that was tabled was the SB (with Ah3h). If you go by the rules, he is the only person that should even be considered for the pot, let alone the BB who actually only flashed a 7 in the air and then cards went in the muck.

I would've removed him as well. That's not the issue, and you should know that.

The issue you saying he had no right to question in the first place. That's just plain incorrect, as I mentioned earlier (and you just sidestepped as you obviously didn't like what I said.)

Have to play a minimum number of games in a season to qualify.

Incorrect again. If you win an entry, you have an entry. Minimum number has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it.

Stop defending Ernie by going off on this guy. I know Ernie as well Harps, and he may a better friend of yours, but he can defend himself. Everything your saying is not helping at all, and you're looking worse as a result.

If bb mucks out of turn "even three handed why is the hand not mucked?

If you want to get technical, based on your version of events, that is incorrect. SB's hand was declared dead by Ernie on the basis of forward motion before he tables his cards, leaving the BB as the last live player in the hand.

Once again, that's based on your version.

Because it's an allin situation mate, and by having the allin already covered by his BB bet, he has technically already called.

Don't forget that a Big Blind is exactly that, it is a blind bet...
