Correct me if I'm wrong but rules states dealer cannot kill a hand that is tabled.
And a hand is not mucked until it's in the muck?

Actually, a TD can do whatever they want, they are free to make rulings they deem in the best interests of the tourney, and their ruling is final.

It's just that I don't agree with this ruling.

That is the rule as I apply it.

I was simply referring to the way you claimed Ernie enforced the rule in his first post.

And then we get accused of being on a power trip.

Since you are a TD, I'd like to ask your position on verbal folds. binding or not?

Random, but yes, binding. I will not allow action to continue until the cards are in the muck though.

Why isn't verbal fold specifically stated in the rules? is it that folds are treated with special care to give the player added layer of ..... intention?

You're asking completely the wrong person.

If you're trying to find a re-work to prove that the situation you described wasn't a legal fold according to the rules, good luck with that.

no no, my question about verbal folds has nothing to do with the incident in this thread. Im asking as an independent question.
