@cryptostifl3r @CoinPoker_OFF @mariomosboeck I should be aware who the "anonymous player" is? Step back and listen to yourself
And if they are often making calls like this correctly, that's even worse

@Phenomaly @CoinPoker_OFF @mariomosboeck That's a low blow and quite pathetic insinuation Matt, you should be aware who this player is and he often makes calls like this.

Wishing @carlosalcaraz a speedy recovery
Tennis needs him. I personally have no real interest in watching @atptour without him in the mix
It wasn't this way during the Big 3 era. If one of them was hurt I was still interested in watching a major final

@0xChiraag it didn't go anywhere
you borrowed 100k. you paid back 2k so now you owe 98k
the 1k you kept for yourself is part of the 98k you still owe
English

I borrowed 50k from Dad and 50k from Mum to buy a laptop that costs 97k.
After the purchase, I had 3k left.
I returned 1k to Dad and 1k to Mum, and I reserved 1k for myself.
I now owe Dad 49k and Mum 49k also.
49k + 49k = 98k plus 1k I reserved for myself, which is 99k.
So where did 1k go..?

@ThePokerBoss Poker rewards the best decisions not necessarily the best hand. That's what makes the game interesting
Kill your own hand, forfeit your portion of the pot
"Paying attention" is a part of the game and rewarded (or punished) accordingly

Alright Poker, we need to talk.
Winning a pot on a technicality like this should never feel right.
Yes, it is every player’s responsibility to protect their hand and their action. I have ruled on this exact spot more times than I can count.
But in the example, at showdown both players have a Queen high flush on the board before anyone even tables their cards. To win the whole pot, a player should have to show something better than that. The QQ did not.
Awarding the full pot when his best five cards are the board, identical to his opponent, is illogical.
Even the announcer says “flips over a set of Queens,” which we know is not accurate. This spot has tripped up even the most seasoned pro.
I am not suggesting we allow players to muck freely in these situations. The correct result should be a split pot. Both players are playing the board with a Queen high flush. Issue a warning for failing to properly table the hand. If the behavior repeats, escalate to a penalty.
Poker should reward the best hand, not technicalities.

Interesting spot here. Huge ft. Experienced player mucks his hand not realizing it’s a chop. No one says anything before it hits the muck, then players try to chime in & I say it’s out of line for anyone to say anything. @kwansfull disagrees with me, what say you? @SavagePoker

@junglemandan There's no shortcut. The person has to want to fix the problem - which requires them to admit they have a problem (hardest step) and then have a deep desire and commitment to fix it. They have to seek help and commit. You cannot do this for them.
