Ken Doherty spotting at the G Casino's Sheffield Card Room

So I was playing in the card room last night/this morning, tired out of my mind and I keep looking at this guy. I'm thinking I know you! It’s only Ken Doherty! This is what I want to know, Is he married because he goes home early doors and I know cash flows not the problem : )

If any of you fan boys want an autograph, come down to the G Casino Card Room in Sheffield, England. He will be in there later too.

£1/£1 Back Room Game,Ruling Please


Re-Post from a post I made at twoplustwo.com

Hi people, thought I would ask a question for the more experienced live
pros:

About me. I used to play online as a $400nl pro for 5 years,
2005-2010 and I have maybe around 100-150 hours at live cash lifetime, so I have
experience but wouldn’t say I’m an experienced live player by any
means.

So last night I had been playing live at my local casino in a GBP
£1/£1 game. After 11 hours the table broke and we moved into the back room where
a self dealt game continued. One person who was not playing dealt the game, on
the 7th hand this occurred:

I raise UTG to £4, four handed with AQ and
BTTN and SB call.
Flop is:

9d-5c-7h (Pot £13)

We all check and
the turn comes:

9d-5c-7h-6d (Pot £13)

Checked to the BTTN who bets
£7, SB calls and I muck. Turn comes:

9d-5c-7h-6d-7d (Pot £27)

SB
bets £15.
After about 30 seconds, BTTN announces, “I don’t care if you have
the straight I’m all in for £22”

Dealer says £7 more to call, SB then
tables over his hand:

9c-9s

Then confidently announces full house.
Dealer says you need to put in £7 more.
About 30 seconds later the BTTN
tables his hand:

Ac7c

Slamming it down and negatively announcing,
“fuking trips” Then he goes into a rage about how it’s his pot as the SB didn’t
call the last £7 so he is taking the pot.

After a brief stating of
somewhat ruling(which I didn’t agree with), SB’s hand is declared dead and the
pot is awarded to the BTTN.

I don’t know this guy, he got unlucky all
night and played good and spoke broken English. I think he was Austrian. I’m
feeling a bit in disbelief about the ruling on the hand and how horrible it was
to have squabbling in a pot without a house dealer.
Floor re-affirms the
ruling given and the pot is awarded to the BTTN. I quit the game and state I
don’t wish to play in a game with such shaky rulings and squabbling at the
table.
After the table breaks.

My thoughts are, who doesn’t call 3rd
nuts for 7 BB’s more into a 64 BB pot! The guy confidently announced his hand
with authority, I thought he was a live noob and just thought he didn’t need to
put the last £7 in as the pot was his, and he didn’t even get more than a minute
to put his 7 blind in.
To me he called when announcing his hand and any
decent floor person would make that decision, but what do I know….as said and I
washed up online pro with not much live experience.

Sorry for such a long
winded post and good luck to you all.

Full Tilt Poker's Secondary Client Provider Authorization application


Hope you are all educated enough to know of the AP & UB scandals under the KGC, do you really think your safe playing under regulation of the the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC), as FTP’s secondary CPA. That was of course a rhetorical question.

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) has already stated all funds are locked, pending the US DOJ Office’s investigation in relation to the four company’s, Vantage Ltd, Oxalic Ltd, Filco Ltd and Orinic Ltd, collectively trading as FULL TILT POKER.

I don’t think this will change the operational status of FTP, maybe they have found some shady loop hole(highly doubt it though).
