The ruling stinks IMO. You got a guy to fold that might still outdraw you. Whilst I know it wasn"t an angle, there are clever guys out there that could do exactly as you did and make it look like a mistake when they are really angling.
If the guy who does it also has headphones on and sunnies and say a sandy coloured corduroy cap and the TD made that call I would be mega fuming. How mad would the folder be if he had hit that river? TD is just asking for trouble.
I"m glad you got a penalty, but in my opinion the hand should have been called dead. Tough but pay attention.
We"ve been around this one before. Paulie will no doubt offer up his liberal democrat option
I would have expected DTD to call it live with no further action from you, as that is the most common thing these days.
The fact that different places play different house rules is a reason why live poker sucks sometimes.
