After what Jamie Gold did and not get in trouble I think nothing is wrong nemore.

Here is the problem with throwing a hissy fit if the professor called-the rules need to be consistently applied to all players in every case. So the players involved (in this case the John guy) should have called the floor over and raised hell either way the hand played out. Things get screwy when you are only going to complain if the table talk affected the decision-making of the players involved.

[Zybomb]

See theres where I dont agree.

If any table talk from someone outside the hand affected the decision making of the players involved it should be immediate grounds for a complaint.

Notice how I did not say in which way (favorable or unfavorable) it affected his decision (i.e to call or to fold)... but either way if his decision was influenced by an outside source its bullshit Imo

I thought the comment was WAAAAY out of line, but maybe Im alone in my thinking

[melioris]

I think we are in agreement. I am only saying that the rule should be enforced regardless of the outcome of the hand. It doesn't matter what the action is, the floor should be called and the player should complain on the basis of the comment being made.

A player in a hand that violates a rule can have his hand called dead. For Scotty, since he was out already, would the penalty have been a timeout on the rail?
