Thanks for the answers, I'm ok that Rule 67 is enough for precise talking and may be not enough for general speculation...

And thanks for the youtube research, I didn't remember this one !

Event structuring / Re: How Do You Manage Bounties...
Last post by BROOKS - December 12, 2024, 03:17:44 AM

Here is an example where bounty amount is $100:

All players are given 4 x $25 cash value chips

Players must immediately give the Dealer their $100 in $25 value chips.
These Bounties will be kept in the Dealer's tray (banked bounty) until either paid out or the player moves tables

When a player is eliminated, half of the eliminated player's banked bounty will be given to the player that knocked them out. The other half will be added to the winning player's banked bounty therefore increasing the value of their bounty

Any time that a bounty's dollar amount is not able to be evenly divided using $25 green value chips, the amounts will be rounded up in favour of the winning player's banked bounty

In the event that a bounty is being split between multiple players (ie. split pot) the won bounty will be divided evenly between the winning players' banked bounties and value pocketed. Should dollar amounts need to be rounded they will be rounded up to favour the players' banked bounty. Should there be a situation where the bounty amount being pocketed between multiple players cannot be divided equally, the extra $25 green value chip will be awarded to the player closest to the button.

I wish the rule would include something that prohibits players from general speculation.

Occasionally, after the betting is done and before/during the showdown, someone not even in the hand will remark, "Who has the [suit]?" or something similar.

I say to not talk about it until it's over which generally gets comments that the betting is over and there's no more action.

I have to remind them that the action isn't over until all hands are face up or in the muck.

If a player accidentally mucks a winner, that's their problem.

Lastly, I tell them to do a YouTube search for 'Phil Ivey folds a flush.' If someone at that table made a comment, Phil wouldn't have folded.

Etiquette and penalties

67: No Disclosure. One Player to a Hand
Players must protect other players in the tournament at all times. Therefore players, whether in the hand or not, must not:
1. Discuss contents of live or mucked hands,
2. Advise or criticize play at any time,
3. Read a hand that hasn't been tabled.
One-player-to-a-hand is in effect. Among other things, this rule prohibits showing a hand to or discussing strategy with another player, advisor, or spectator.

Hi,

I maybe didn't search well, but I have an old question I never asked.

In quite every tournaments, the players and TDs says that you can't talk about the current action if more than 2 players are involved.

But I don't see this rule written anywhere ? Why ?

Thanks for answers or just links to any thread about that.

Last post by karlovic - October 31, 2024, 03:27:04 AM
Hi TDA members,

I have a question for you all: how do you handle bounties in Progressive Knockout tournaments? I've been looking for specific rules and guidelines for this format, but honestly, there isn't much out there online.

So, I've decided to take on the task of drafting a set of rules for these tournaments, but I'd love to hear about your experiences first. How do you keep track of the bounties? Any tips or systems you use to keep everything clear and fair?

Any insights you can share would be super helpful. I'm sure we can put together something valuable for the poker community!

Thanks, and looking forward to your feedback!

Hi
An extra 5.0 chip was detected in a pile on a table and counting the 5.0 chips we noticed that there are two extra but we don't know who was given the extra.
