Irish Open Satellite at the Sporting Emporium Tue 20th March

I had cards taken from the muck in 2 different casinos in Vegas. I asked for a ruling in the MGM and what I said in the above post was the floor managers response (i went ballistsic!)

in the commerce in LA a full tilt "pro" went mad at me when i stopped his cards hitting the muck with my hand, i had no intentions of turning them over, but i stopped them hitting the muck, which drove him mad, and the floor manager backed him saying that the muck is unretrievable.

And he was right, there is no circumstance where it is acceptable for one player to touch another players cards at the table.

I don't know if this was the circumstances in this case but a player who was called on the river shouldn't be firing his cards into the muck as someone can request to see a called hand. (this reminds me of the first thread a posted on boards).

If this was the case, then it was two wrongs.

cough cough, I do remember you winning a hand against the Chief but am quite sure that it was indeed myself who finished him off in a three way pot that included Dacman KJ the chief AQ and the set hitting 1010 for my self.

I feel your original statement is bringing my integrity and honesty into question and feel a public apology is warranted

To be honest, no harm was intended Nicky. I got caught up in the moment and managed to forget that the hand I doubled up through the Chief did not knock him out. He had a superior stack to me (likely due to his superior skill levels) and you are right in saying that you knocked him out in the hand mentioned above.

I wish to offer a full and sincere apology to Nicky, his family, loved ones, friends and business assosiates for my unfortunate tirade.

I apologise profusely and I hope that this incident (*hereby referred to as Chiefgate) will not tarnish our friendship.



Meanwhile, my quest to knock the chief out (and also to be 'chiefed') continues.....

Hmmm ok apology accepted it's just that i dont get to knock out such high profile players very often, now that i think of it i dont seem to knock many players full stop:) . anyhow we've cleared up who scalped the chief:rolleyes:

I was secrety hoping you wouldn't accept my apology and we could drag this out.
