Hi Tracey,
Do you know who this player is?
Matty is a very junior TD and as such will be trained accordingly. I am sorry for the inconvenience and to be quite honest that player who made those noises and called you that name doesn't exactly know a lot about poker themselves do they.
I will also get Dakota and Tim to chase this up within there region.

I wasn't there, so I can't say whether the TD (Matty Justice, I assume) heard the other player say that or not (was he dealing at the table?) but if you've got a concern, bring it up with the TD. NPL made some changes a few weeks back stating that the word "d.o.n.k.e.y" (thrown between fullstops because NPLSA automatically changes it to "non-thinking player"), derogatory or not, is no longer allowed. If the TD heard I would hope that he pulled the other player up on it.

And no, your all in move wasn't stupid. I've seen worse.

Edit: Garth pretty much covered it.

Good call, I would have done the same heads up

When you hear the donkey comment again
Call them an Equus Asinus

Then watch the dumb look on their face
PRICELESS

Well done Tracy. Nice to see you voice your opinion on here and hopefully you get an apology from the tool.

But please, please, try and break your writing down to some simple paragraphs to make easier reading. Still your friend Bob B

Its just easier to read text when broken into smaller paragraphs. Grammar works nicely too

I'm not one to take sides and nor am i now but i was actually at the table wen the spectator of the table made that comment and i do remember quite clearly that Matty did make a comment along the lines to the spectator to not use any derogatory terms to any other players. I did not actually hear the spectator make any animal sounds though.

the call from the spectator also was directed at the fact that there was a lengthy(not purposely) decision period to put the extra in and wen the call was made the spectator commented something along the lines of " that was almost a D........ fold"

I have been to a few of Matty's tournys now and yes hes a junior TD and there may be a small mistake here or there but i believe he runs his tournys very well n very professionally!!!
