Hello,
Love the forum and now I have found a reason to post.
I play in a pub game on a regular basis and qualified to play in the league final.
I arrived at the pub for the game thinking I was early but found that the final had started early to allow the normal game to run afterwards. My stack had been removed as I had arrived after the break. I was disappointed and left.
Driving home the thought came to me that the stack should have been left on the table and blinded away as the chips were effectively paid for. They normally put a couple of dead stacks on the tables for late arrivals and the stacks are removed at the break. I turned around and went back and called the TD aside and told him I had a problem with the decision to remove the stack.
He spoke to the players and all but one objected to my stack being reinstated. The objector said that the stack being removed had affected play and the run of the cards.
In any case majority ruled and my stack was reinstated and I went on to win heads up against the objector, who wasn't happy and had refused a offer to split.
What should have happened?
