I like playing live poker. With that said, I've been playing a lot of PLO recently at a card room where there is pretty much no law & order. Because this PLO game is the biggest game in the room, there are certain players that feel entitled to make up their own rules about how the game is played that often differ from the card rooms rules. Every time the floor man gets called it's a huge ordeal, often because they can't resolve anything with their own card room rules since the game really doesn't follow any of them to begin with.
So here are a few situations that happened the other night (I've changed the names of the players):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Situation #1
Flop comes down and there is a ton of money that flys in from all directions. Four way all-in where the shortest stack had
Alchemist was all-in for $1000
Troll was all-in for $5000 with
Pudge was all-in for $4000 with
Tinker was all-in for $4000 with
Everyone agrees to run it twice.
First run:
Second run:
All the hands are turned face-up. Alchemist chops the main pot ($4000) with Pudge since he clearly won the second run with quads. Tinker knows he's fucked and just mucks his hand. Troll starts yelling that he made a straight on the first run. Troll does not have a straight on either run. Pudge says he has a straight on the first run, Troll then starts yelling that he has two pair on the second board. Pudge groins that he should have only run it once so he could scoop it all. All the players are looking at all the hands, and no one at the table catches that Pudge paired his King on the second run and the counterfeits Troll's two pair. Dealer is confused and agrees that Troll does infact win the second board with the flop two pair. The big side pot gets split between Troll and Pudge.
2 hands go by...
Pudge then says "Wait! I had made a King on the second board and you got counterfiet, I should win the entire side pot!"
Troll doesn't believe he had a King. Tinker and Alchemist and a couple other players at the table confirm that Pudge's hand was infact K643. Troll now doesn't believe that the King was the turn on the second run. The floor gets called over, reviews the tape, and confirms that Pudge had the winning hand on both runs for the side pot. Troll refuses to pay and claims that it's the casino / dealers fault for pushing him the pot and that he shouldn't be required to pay out since they have played a couple hands since.
Floor man doesn't know what to do. Says casino won't pay, and leaves decision up to the players LOL. So what should be done?
+ Show Spoiler +
What actually happened: Pudge asks Troll for his share of that side pot. Troll argues that it's in his stack and it would be impossible to know exactly what Pudge is owe'd. Alchemist figures out exactly what Troll owes Pudge. Troll still refuses to pay and says that it's not his fault that the dealer pushed him the pot. Pudge (who is a super happy-go-lucky kind of guy) gives up and is just fine with winning half the side pot and the game goes on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Situation #2
Big action happens between some deep stacks on a flop of between four players. Troll (same guy from previous hand) leads out for pot. Gets 3 calls from Tinker, Sniper, and Pudge. Action folds to Razor who pots it to $2000. Troll re-pots to $8000 (With $6k more effective behind). Tinker calls all-in for $7000, Sniper calls all-in for $1800. Pudge folds. Action is back to Razor who has Troll covered. Razor tanks for a long time and finally folds.
Troll now asks if Tinker wants to run it for what Sniper is all-in for. They agree to run it for just $1800. Razor scratches his head and says nothing.
Should other players not in the hand say something about this?
+ Show Spoiler +
I mentioned to Razor about how they were screwing him out of being in this pot. Troll showed TTXX and said that his intentions weren't to squeeze Razor out, he just didn't want to run into the variance from Tinker who had 987X. Razor mentioned that he was dead to 1 out and that it was whatever. And the game went on...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Situation #3
Alchemist gets to back-shove all-in for a short $1200 stack, gets called by Razor and Troll who still have $10k+ behind. The dealer, however, thinks they everyone is all-in and deals a flop , then a turn before everyone at the table yell "STOP!" Dealer apologizes, and calls over the floor. Floor says that their procedure is as follows:
The will obviously be coming back. Both players are allowed their flop action. Once that is complete, the dealer will burn and turn a new turn (which happens to be the actual card that comes on the river). Once they do that, the will be put back into the deck and shuffled for the river.
Alchemist is unhappy about this decision since he states that the should be shuffled into the deck before the turn comes out. Troll argues that if you do this, the river card will be different. Razor wants the original river card that they want to use for the turn to be put to the side, then the re-shuffled into the deck for the turn. Floor says that is not their procedure. All 3 players do not like what the floor wants to do in this hand, but all 3 cannot agree on a acceptable way to run the hand out so in the end they run the hand like the floor suggests.
What's common protocol in these situations where a card that was put down too early needs to come back?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got a couple other funny spots I might post later in this thread. Tell me what you guys think.

#1 He doesn't have to pay it. guys fault for not reading his hand. yeah he looks douchey afterwards but what can you do.
#2 I guess if you guys can do stuff like run it twice, other deals are okay? doesnt look like he was colluding just really didnt want to play for that much.
#3 In my local casino turn is put back in and new turn and river is done.
#4 whats poquito pot lol |

comedy. Standard rule for #3 is what the floor said, the flop action happens, the turn is the old river and if you get to the river, the 4 is shuffled in to potentially reappear. |

Unless the dealers are very good, running it more than once in a multiway pot usually leads to either at best a 10 minute delay of the game or else somebody getting screwed over lol. |

#1 Yeah he shouldn't pay. Stack sizes effect action on the next hand even if its slight.
#2 It might not be intentional malicious collusion but its collusion and absolutely shouldn't be allowed. Aside from that, I realize its close to a flip but the player with the better equity is getting screwed. Just a retarded situation all around.
#3 Floor is just doing his job but its a retarded rule. The 4c should be shuffled back into the deck. I hate rules that prioritize player superstition over game strategy.
#4 lol. Im ok with the floor decision. If you declare your action (as opposed to just putting chips in) you have to be clear. |

Is there a rule stating that a player that throw in one chip for a call, two chips that equal the bet amount plus half a blind or whatever it is for a raise? |

I wouldike to comment on situation #3, and how it's dealt with here:
First, the dealer burns another card, and deals the river face down. That way it's still the same card, but noone knows what it is. Then the premature turncard goes back into the deck, it gets shuffled, and a different turn is dealt (also face down. No burning, cuz that was already done, the 2nd burning card obviously doesn't go back into the deck). Players complete the flop action (resumed at the same point at which the mistake was made). Hand plays out normally from then on.
I don't think it's allowed to RIT here in multiway pots (not that it's allowed to RIT in general except one place that I know of / play at). Situation #2 shouldn't ever be allowed to happen, wtf. Pulling back chips that are in the middle is pretty shady. I mean, run it and give it back later in the parking lot, if anything (which imo is still shady, but at least it doesn't make people question how legit the game is).
