SMF - Just Installed!
Hello,Late in a "friendly tournament" inside a club (63 players - 50€ - 9 players ITM - 1000€ for the winner) I think I took a wrong decision (the fact I was tired and influenced by the friendly atmosphere are good excuses? ... no? ... ok sorry so lol!):Blinds 1.000-2.000PreflopPlayer A in middle position open the bets saying "10.000!" and pushing it in the middle Player B in late positon didn't pay attention (watching another table) and says "4.000!" pushing 4.000 in the middleThe other players explain him that it's a short call ... Player B says "ooops sorry so I fold", taking back his 4.000 and throwing his cards faces down 8 inches forward (clearly away from the muck) ...Called by the players, I thought player B didn't know the rule and told him his 4.000 could'nt be taken back but that he could fold loosing it or complete with 6.000 to call the 10.000 bet ... wich he did!I think I was wrong and simply I should have killed his hand and make him loose the 4.000 right?Horrible detail: both were big stacks but player B eliminated player A on this hand .... oooops!GG
It sounds like a misunderstanding. I think if the action was stopped before another player acted, then the player should be able to retract his bet. If substantial action followed, then it is too late.

If substantial action followed, then it is too late.So if the next actor called the wrong amount would then both players wrong amounts be returned?I would be more inclined to punish this sort of inattention and remind the players that they are responsible for their actions. Especially in small towns/cities such as mine, you can appreciate how fast this sort of behaviour can spread amongst players. In that respect, I would rather my poker brand be known as the official (Strict) inforcer of poker etiquette where every player will be judged by the same standards. I can understand that new players should be nurtured, but my players seem to blur the line between inexperienced and inattention. But that's just me
Thanx DCJ001 for pointing out my spelling mistake (That made me smile). I'll try to pay closer attention to the red line under the words
