    Fitz 1/2 ruleing

    Live 1\2 I bet 80 on the river player calls I turnover over straight to the K he let's a sigh and bangs the table. Throws in the 80 cards still face down. Pot gets rewarded to me as he slams over his cards. We put out the blinds and riffle the deck for the next hand. I then say what did he have because I didn't even look because his reaction was enough to tell me I won the pot and was too busy stacking chips when he revealed his hand. Lower straight I get told 108 I says that was a chop n laugh. Agree to pay back the final bet out of my wallet as he is right beside me. He knows it been rewarded and too late also.. Floors called by dealer anyway to double check ruling.. Floor agrees pots awarded too late move on. We carry on then floor manager number 2 comes over and asks whats wrong and forces me to pay 115 euro back? Villan is not even at the table at this time as the hand is over. I auto say u can't do that mate show me the special house rules. Final rule is. Yeah I can and I have the rules in my head... Thoughts?

    The player turned over the same hand as you (K high straight), and the pot was awarded to you in error.
    The error was pointed out by you before any action took place on the next hand (putting out the blinds doesn't constitute action). So the pot gets chopped.
    Where is the issue here?

    The house is correct to split chips on the table imo. Why would they need special house rules doe this?
    And I don't why you have an issue with splitting the chips, but you were going to pay him back in cash?

      Sorry floor manager 2 comes over after action has taking place. The opponent had been out for a smoke and back before I had to give him back the chips. Because these are the rules. If I agree to pay him back that's a gentle mens agreement not to do with the casino. They need 1 set of rules and stick by them. Is it not a rule in poker that if the pot is awarded its too late?

        I dont think your last line is correct. Is there not a rule that you cant kill a winning (chopping?) hand?

        As to how far this can be applied retrospectively i dont know.

        What was the dealer at anyway.

          Did he actually turn his hand over?
          If a new hand has started play must move on a hand begins with the first riffle.

            If the hand was tabled loads of cameras to verify then give him half the pot the cards upturned speak.
            The dealers incompetence should not stop you doing the right thing.
            If your a reg in the game and trying to avoid giving half the pot its pretty bad form
            unless it was one of a few horrible creatures that infest the game.

              Dealer was on same boat as me. He was pushing over the pot as the hand was revealed not looking. They player was speaking of how unlucky he just got . He awarded the pot picked up the now exposed cards and the board shuffeled up and then I asked what he had... So were all running the board back out in our heads while realising it should of been a chop. Never in all my days have a seen a player forced to hand back over chips from there stack after a hand has taking place

                He exposed his hand after he paid the pot while the dealer was pushing the pot towards me. Board still being visable at this time but no one realising the chop. Cards get taking in from the dealer we place blinds and convo ensues... At this Pont he just blames dealer, dealer apologies. Everyone knows the rule... even the floor. Until a floor manager 2 with his own personal copy of the fitz rules in his head rules this decision. Goes grabs the player from the smoke area brings him in and force me to hand over chips from my stack... Strange. By this time we're 4-5 hands down the line

                  Are you angry at the ruling or giving back the chips?
                  I think i would have given back the chips regardless of the amount if he tabled his hand and it was a split pot.

                    There are camaras my point being is this not a rule we have? Is it cool to go play live poker and the people in charge are making rules up as they go along... It's amateur hour in the fitz tbh if you ask some the good club owners/TDs a ruling they give u a full rule that everyone abides by and that is that. The villan was a well known losing reg and another reason why I felt they were making this insane ruling as I felt at the time...

                      At the rule. This is the 3rd silly ruling iv seen inside 2 months 2nd v me. Dealers have gone as far to tell me they make the rules at there own discression which I found funny. There is no rule just what they feel at time is ok and good for the game

                        Seems like a strange ruling. What would happen if you'd been stacked in the meantime? Would the floor manager make you go to an ATM to reimburse the other guy?

                          Iv no idea. Funnily enough I stated the hand with more then I had after paying 115 back so it cost me roughly 20 euro also. Weather in rake or what I am not sure. By this stage I'm kinda tilted because I know the rule so I don't even bother about it.

                              Not sure. He was getting the 80 back but that had nothing to do with the floor that was between me and him . The chips we're in play and that was that. Mistakes we're made by the player/dealer not me. Rules are there to protect players and this is not happening here

                                I'm fairly sure that in this situation where cameras could be checked that he would get half the pot upon reviewing of the footage.

                                There is no rule that once a pot is awarded that the chips can't be taken back.

                                    if his cards are for all too see then his hand is live and split pot should have been awarded .
                                    now if the pot was awarded to you by mistake and play started for next hand and you ask and say that it was really a split pot they should not really be a need for floor people to come too table you yourself should have said here your share and not just his 80 euro last bet

                                    i think myself you feel wronged but in fairness you were going to hand back 80 when you really should have been giving back 115 euro so no injustice done

                                      Ok just got confirmation off a TD who has a definitive answer... The dealer can not kill a winning hand and the pot should be chopped even after the next riffle. This is the rule I was looking for instead of been put to me the way it was. The moral high ground is clear what to do to reply to other comments am just looking for a rule as far as the casinos standpoint as I was ruled against by them.

                                          it's very simple:

                                          -was player's hand tabled?
                                          -had a new hand commenced?

                                          If the player's hand has been tabled, and a new hand had not started, the ruling should be you give him half of the pot from your stack. In this case I'd define 'new hand' as cards being dealt and significant action having taken place. You could argue 'new hand' is defined as the first riffle taking place but I think this would be against the fairness of the game.

                                            One of my golden rules for dealing. Do not award pot until cards are tabled or in the muck

                                                I agree but in this instance I think the floor was called straight away it was the 2nd ruling he has the problem with.

                                                  This is madness if true. The way that fivebetbluf3 would play the next hand (with an extra €115 in his stack) could be a lot different than if he played it without that money. He shouldn't be punished further down the line for dealer/incompetent player mistakes. How many hands can be played before it's decided that you can't take chips back?

                                                  I'm sure i've heard many a time from top TD's that once a new hand begins, then that's the end of it, let's move on. Is this the same for cash games and tournaments?

                                                  The OP didn't see the hand, but can the dealer or other players confirm that he had 108, which was a straight? I'd be wanting confirmation that is what he held before i start talking about giving money back.

                                                    I meant taking them back straight away Tony not after the next hand.

                                                      I think it was more referring to the fact that the first riffle doesn’t prevent them correcting the pot where he tabled the winning hand- where as in a lot of situations, the first riffle marks a new hand.
                                                      However if the chips have significantly been in play since the hand, it’s a different story imo.

                                                            To me its pretty simple. Did the dealer witness your opponents hand ie was it tabled whilst the flop turn and river were still in view off everyone.
                                                            If so well then the pot should be awarded accordingly.

                                                            From what i can read........
                                                            If the pot was awarded to you on the say so off said reg , (no he's good) after a few moments off pause the deck and flop pulled in pots awarded to you cards riffled back together then exposes his hand....well that's just game over imo. Said reg is responsible for his own actions and by not exposing his hand whilst the hand was still in play renders his hand dead....... THIS IS NOT TOURNAMENT POKER.

                                                              Regardless of this ruling the Fitz seem quite lenient to regs in tourneys. I played the Tuesday tourney a few weeks back.
                                                              Full table: I shove UTG, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 is casually walking back to the table, UTG+3 folds and UTG+2 returns is allowed play his hand.
                                                              He wasn't there for the first or last card and a player after him folded. I asked the dealer before he even called could he play his cards, he only had his hand on his cards, dealer said yes his hand is live, no justification just yes, it's live. I said ok, no interest in calling the floor.
                                                              He calls and has AA, I crack them with A10 and he calls me a little bitch for asking the dealer are his cards live.
                                                              Would I have reacted different if I hadn't bust him, tbh I probably wouldn't have made a fuss but it was 100% the wrong ruling by the dealer but that sort of leniency seems to be evident in cash and tourneys.
                                                              Personally I think there are negatives and positives to leniency such as this in a club but maybe a place as big as the Fitz shouldn't allow it the way smaller clubs, with smaller client bases do.

                                                                    I bet 80 he snap calls, I show the my Q10 board is QJ29K he curses the gods and announces I win and points at the river(He is Chinese and English is not perfect). Some confusion happens as he puts the wrong chips into the pot. Myself and the dealer point out the bet was 80 he see's the mistake and pays the 80... His cards are still face down in front of him at this point... Once the 80 is in the middle the dealer picks up out two bets the pot in the middle and pushes it towards me. I start stacking my chips when the player throws in his cards face up just as the dealer extends his arm to take them in for the next hand.. Board is still out as this time... As he exposes his hand the dealer continues what he was doing picks up his hand my hand and the board and shuffles up.. We place the blinds... No one any way the wiser to what just happened as the cards were exposed for seconds. I point out the chop before any raising takes place in the next hand. Floors called. The floor rules its too late pot has been awarded. We deal on the next hand.. Floor number 2 comes over and rules I give 115 back from my stack.

Sit outs mess up dynamic's so much it can easily cost a player there tournament life in that one hand. ex. U shove sb he suddenly sits in and calls with AA lol gg

                                                                        A few weeks ago I played the same Tuesday game were a player misclicks to 7.5k @ 1k bb I shove the bottom of my range and get it true.. Dealer rules it was a mistake and only takes 2.5k from the player?? Even doe he left it in there while I'm tanking and only takes it out after I get it true. This was on another level of tilting. The dealer then starts telling me to shut up after I complain! Tells me the rules are at his discretion when I ask for the floor, I was in shock at the whole situation. Obv thinking I'm a newb and don't know better. Back talking customers n that sort of thing is not too professional at the end of the day even if there annoying...

                                                                          I don't actually know at what point he came over as it happened in sections. I'm pretty sure it was in the middle of the next hand after that I know we had a bum deal at one point aswell. He made the ruling went out and came back with the player so a few hands were played in between thats why I'm unsure excatly... But the ruling was made I would say only 1-2 max hands on and 1 being a bum deal so was not loads.. Point is doe there should be a clear rule here. No point of views from different staff just one rule for all.. I always thought once the next riffle starts the hand is over. That is the rule I was thought playing poker but I could be mistaking with tournament poker... So here I am

                                                                              #39
                                                                              I found this on the interweb fairly similar;

                                                                              Two players in the showdown hesitated to show their hands. One shows top pair and the other says "Your pair is good" but continues holding his cards, After the dealer awards the pot and begins pulling in the community cards the player holding his cards says "Wait, I have a straight." The TD ruled he waited too long and let the pot stay where it was. Right or wrong?

                                                                              Stuart Murray:
                                                                              Hi and thanks for posting,

                                                                              by the book no not too late as the player still has a live hand and his comments of "your pair is good" is meaningless during showdown. *Until his hand is either tabled or mucked the pot should not be awarded to either player. Only at a point when all live hands have been tabled can a dealer award a pot, by killing all loosing hands off, or when a player holds the only live hand remaining at the table due to all other players folding/mucking.

                                                                              That's by the book, I don't know the full story of what happened to make the TD award the pot to the player who had commenced his showdown, but in my own humble opinion I would usually rule that the player with the straight gets the pot.

                                                                              I forgot - it is only too late when the first riffle or green button is pressed to mark the start of a new hand, disputes are valid that are raised before this point.

                                                                              Regards

                                                                                      Yeah, its a bit of a conundrum really. Possibly situation driven.

                                                                                      Similar thing happened to me on a tournament bubble where I was the only one who saw the other player had won the pot vs me. I called it as the dealer pulled the cards in for me to bubble. It was a local €65 game. Bubble of Main Event would I say anything. Would I fuck.
