plo wsop on espn ??

might not be a new episode, but the first time I have seen it. Why is devilfish Ulliott allowed to drop the f bomb every other sentence and not get penalized? Thought that was a rule?

Also, what is the rule with saying what you have in your hand? You can lie about your hand and be ok, but if you tell the truth, you lose? That can't be right, can it?

I thought the same thing about Devilfish the other night. Must be a double standard. :nono:

Regarding your second question, all I know from reading articles and seeing it on tv before, you are penalized for saying what you have, but it is perfectly ok to lie about your hand. Seems a bit odd, but there you go.

I'm sure our resident poker experts will chime in on this. :142smilie

i think the reason you can't tell the truth about your hand is to prevent collusion or being pot friendly with a friend.

That "thinking" thing will always get you in trouble:142smilie

It sure was a beep fest watching that, is the cursing penalty only in the Main Event:shrug:

Congrats last night Jack, did you keep trying to bluff late in the game? Seems like every time someone came back over the top, you were laying down.

 

[MadJack]

yea, the beers were making me too cockey i guess.

the last hand was semi bluff with the double gut and was pot comitted after the turn so sent it all in. oh well. only that one bad mistake killed me.

the rule in wsop on the f bomb was changed this year. You can say it as long as it is not directed towards a player or a dealer, new rule.
