ruling on when a hand should be mucked

[Bob B]

Just an idea to stop the confusion of this happening in the future.

Maybe if we introduced a rule that says if a player is not at a table by the time the 1st card hits the felt, the player simply is not dealt into the hand (like when you play at the casino!), thus keeping all the cards in the deck live at the point of them being dealt.

if you play in a casino tourney, and are not there, im pretty sure they will deal you in and muck you still

I agree with you benny the cunt as it's my understading that if the player has chips but is not seated then the cards are dealt and mucked when the dealer receives or deals the last card.

last time I played a cash table there, they didn't deal the person in if they left the table,

and that was 3 weeks ago!

they might've changed since though.

Cash yes. Tourney no.

Again, that's a cash game, where only seated players are dealt in.

All stacks are dealt to in a tournament.
