    was playing 1/2 nl at fallsview, and this one dude kept buying in for the minimum of 40$ and then shoving without looking at his cards....half the table thought it was funny/didnt care, and the other half were getting pissed... eventually the supervisor is called and after a long argument he tells the guy he cant play like that because hes ruining the experience for others

    the guy got up and left.....is the floorman allowed to do that? isnt the player allowed to do whatever the hell he wants with his chips as long as its within the rules???

    Who the F would that "ruin the experience" for? Try waiting for any hand thats ~55% favorite over any two and calling. That might make their day a little brighter.

    Floor man sounds like a moron too i can't imagine that whoever his supervisor is would uphold that decision.
