Barny Boatman penalty at the WSOP: http://pokermob.com/poker-forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=240

In 2006, they introduced an all-in button. That lasted barely 1 series. Some casinos have all-in buttons that the dealer throws out. How could Barny have avoided this situation?

One I can think of is players responding to verbal action from the dealer rather than their opponents. Too many times players want to table their hand and that can cause confusion. Wait for the dealer to reiterate the action. Apart from the dealer lying to the floor man in this case, different people at the table had differing opinions on what was said.

He says he did shove. Those near him said he did. Barny heard "Call". Dealer didn't throw out All-In button, even though he told the floor he did (eventually).

"Call" and "All-In" are too similar. From the other side of the table, the "in" might be hard to hear. Always best to hear the action, then have it confirmed.

Whats your limit/allowance?

I'm not sure to be honest but it isnt oversized or a big program

When you click to download it before you accept it'll tell you the size, otherwise just start the download and it will tell you the size and if its too big you can just cancel it and you wont waste any data

He went from about 50k insta followers to over a million within like a month earlier in the year

Nearly every bloke on my Facebook and insta who don't know poker were all over him liking his photos etc and tagging their mates all within a week, he spread like wildfire

Then articles about this guy living "the lifestyle" spread and he's nearly a household name these days
 
Two note worthy things happened this weekend

online player 'gordiju' on Sunday won the Kickoff for $26k~, the Big $55 for $44k~ and the Sunday Storm for $30~K for 101k won total in the day. Obviously in dollar figures it isnt the biggest score of the day, but shiping 3 major flagship tourneys in a day is unreal

and 20 year old CrownUpGuy won the 5k WCOOP Main, he recently started blogging and at the start of the year said he wanted to win 100k, soon after he chopped the Super Tuesday to reach it, then said he wants a million and soon after binks 1.3milli today

He also helped raise over 50k for a charity in his home country donating 25k himslf before this, so hes a fairly standup guy who got some good karma points in so let that be a lesson to you all
