Message: [QUOTE="pjokay, post: 7119899, member: 106655"] Just wondering, wanting responses from live players if they have experienced angling or unallowed practises, how much do you expect the dealers to tackle it and what you should be able to challenge and would hope to be overturned. I won a seat to £888 tournament from a $55 satellite. I have played one before and finished 10 places outside the money. This was a really good experience and enjoyed it. I then qualified for another which was quite a long journey (about 7 hours on the train). On this tournament on the flop the turn the player in front of me raised very strongly so I went allin. I was then shocked to find a player behind reshove I thought must have folded the flop. I had checked before I went allin and clearly the only persons cards out were the person who acted in front of me and my own, again clearly in front of me at the table. The easiest way to see who is still in the hand is by who still has cards, especially multi-way. The issue with the player on my left is he had been completely covering his cards with his hands and tucked in close to the rim. In fact, the previous dealer had already warned him about concealing his cards but there was then a dealer change. To challenge this, I would have needed to do it immediately but did not, both through a combination of not being comfortable in live play and knowing what you can challenge the dealers on & also a bit of shock. I wish I had said to the dealer I only went allin as the player behind me was not displaying his cards so did not realise he was in the hand. I would never have gone allin though had I known there was someone to act behind me and knowing I was in a multi way pot. I would have also played the flop differently. His chips were added silently which you can do but thought cards were meant to be on display. I need to play live more to be comfortable with this format and some of the differences between online and live play as I am not use to the live format. I did come away from this one feeling deflated and it was not because I lost but the circumstances and the feeling the player on my left should not have been covering his cards even if I should have followed the action better. Additionally, the fact that he had already been warned and then continued to cover his cards and am not sure of the reason to completely cover cards this way except to mislead unless being overprotective, but it did not seem this way. Have you had a similar situation, challenged the dealer and would you for the above? Would you expect the dealer to call player out on this? [/QUOTE]
