Poker Forum

Hello guys, I've found this article about a big discussion about the "new" excessive celebration rule. It seems to be the german player MR. Benjamin Kang who recieved a penalty from the Floorman because he have shouted "YES YES" in the situtation in which he was all in, and hits his winning Jack on the river.

In my opinion Poker is a game full of emotions, so I can't understand why the ruling by the Floor staff was so tough.

Cheers

Hello

I agree with you and I wouldnt give a penalty to Ben, BUT you are not allowed to talk or discuss your hand before the showdown!

Instead of a penalty I would spend him a Betablocker.

BTW, are drugs forbidden in EPT, WPT, WSOP poker tournaments ?

he didn't talk about his hand. he only shout "YES". that can mean everything...
