Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6768548, member: 397965"] Each room has their own rules, but this one about not being allowed to talk and "influence action" is pretty common, as I understand it. I personally think, its a ridiculous rule, since table talk is a big part of live poker. I also think, the ruling of this tournament director is particularly ridiculous, because how does it even "influence action", that you inform the guy, the other guy has him covered? If you had not said that, as I understand it, the dealer would have been obliged to make a count, so he knew, how much he had to call. So you just saved everyone some time, but from a very formalistic point of view, you were likely breaking the rules, so the warning was appropriate. [/QUOTE]
