Hello,
Not only I defend everywhere the TDA but I did participate to the las Summit in Vegas.
But ... I mostly manage huge tournaments with 1000 to 3000 amateurs in giant sponsored events with or even WITHOUT dealers so ...
Here are the points were I'm not sure to follow the TDA rules:
11) Final tables: Mostly 9 to 10 full ring events, we ALLWAYS play the final table at 9 players because we want the 2 tables hand-by-hand final bubble to be play with an EVEN number of players (5/5)!
14) At showdown: a 100% identifiable hand pushed faces down is still alive if return by the owner or the actual winner or the wind BUT IS DEAD if returned by the dealer or anybody else!
18) Asking to see a hand at showdown is not only reserved to the player still in possession of their cards but is also limited to a declared suspicion of COLLUSION OR IRREGULAR HAND!
39) Any undercall without declaration of calling is treated 2 ways: 1) If only an amount is pushed, this amount stay and the player can only loose it and fold or complete to call or 2) If only an amount is declared and not pushed, it's invalid and the player can only fold (loosing nothing) or call. It works perfectly because 99% are no angling and if a guy was to angle (repeat that twice): he would received strong penalty!
46 & 54) We apply "accepted action" or hidden chips" but only in the limits of close amount differences. As soon as the difference is bigger or the full stack in danger, we look for the best interest of the game and protect as far as we can the player who received the wrong informations!
Now you can kill me!
