You are not allowed to say "sorry" when you blatently luckbox a suckout on somebody, you are not sorry and when you get it in bad you are hoping for the 1 or 2 outer!!
A large hand should descend from the ceiling and give you a slap!
Also the dealer should be allowed to tell you how much is in the pot instead of just spreading it, silly rule
If I were 'president of poker' for a day: in all seriousness I would probably have to implement a standardised code of rules for live play. Poker is rather notorious for it's lack of this which strikes as a bit of an anomaly in the modern day.
What I would rather do, though, personally, is implement a shift in attitude regarding etiquette. I'm a bit old school with my views here but I think good etiquette should be paramount in poker. I would prefer to see a much firmer line taken on those who persistently display bad etiquette, thereby harming the overall image of the game.
As President of Poker (Online) I would invent new buttons for the screen....
"Unfold" - this button allows you to use hindsight to get back into the hand. "Lendsies" - allows you to get your money back after being stacked "Self Abuse" - no, it is to give yourself a good talking to in the chatbox.
If I was the president of poker the one thing I would change in poker, Is if a player has a flush with for example 7 9 of diamonds and the flop was 3 diamonds lower than 7 9 and another person on the same table also has a flush but they have 6 J of diamonds, I would make it a split pot because the person with the 7 9 flush probably thinks they've got the better hand and puts most of they're chips the pot and they’re gutted when they lose to the other hand with a flush.
If i was President of Poker for one day there would be Total Mayhem online because,
All the top Cash players would have to play at least 2-3 hours between NL8 & NL20 - would be good Fun & Experience for the Regs at these levels.
All the Analysts & Presenters on channel 865 would have to swap Roles for one night only (would be very interesting listening to Rich Orford talk about Trains, Motorways & Bridges).
Bad Beat moaning would be Banned for the day as you would be expected to enjoy playing whatever the outcome (Good Sportsman/womanship).
There would be a one off Forum DTD where the Winner would get a VLV Package
If i was the president of poker , i would be Barack Ohama (anagram of omaha ) , and introduce more .... you got it ..... 'hold em. Personally i think Hold em is 'the place to be', and am not a fan of the other games.
If I was the El Presidente of Poker I would demand that Phil Hellmuth be on every poker TV show, as he is just hilarious to watch when he blows up. I would also demand that he'd be seated with the most provocative personalites in poker to guarantee a loco Hellmuth.
On a more serious note, If I was Mr Poker President I would sort out the issue of when (in bounty hunters) you almost stack off an opponent and someone else gets their bounty even though you've done all the hard work! ... Can be a tad tilting.
if i was president i think the same as carlo but with add ons, no sunglasses, no hoodies, no phones, no computers, i think you should just sit there and play cards, online i would ban people that are abusive, i'm not talking about banter, like being called a fish or you was lucky, i mean some of the really nasty stuff that some people say and i'm not just on about banning from chat but from the site.
If I was president, then anyone caught slow rolling would be thrown out of the event and lose their right to qualify for future tournaments! Cleaning up the game! Nothing more frustrating than to be slow-rolled and then be on tilt. Fair play first.
In my local casino and i know many others. If im in a hand with say seat 1 and its HU. Seat 1 bets river and i call. He shows his cards and shows the nuts (example) and i say nh and go to muck. Seat 2 then says "i want to see your cards" the dealer or myself has to show my cards. The only way around this is to try and flck your cards into the muck between the dealers cards causing an arguement on the table. This obviously requires great accuracy in card throwing.
I just see it as terrible ettiquite. If the guy i called said can you show, i have no quarrels with that. But for the guy not in the hand to ask i just dislike it.
Hi Rich and Carlo i have a couple of the lads in tonight and we are enjoying the show and having a bit of fun arguing over the hands being shown.
We are recreational players and one of the earlier hands has got us all disagreeing with Carlo,it is the hand where Stribbs had the ACE JACK oop and before it came to him there had been a raise and a call.
Stribbs folded which one of the guys thought was correct,Two of us thought it should be a call but Carlo said it should be a reraise.What we thought was that if Stribbs reraised he was then leaving himself open to one of the other Two players who were still to act making a further reraise and then where was he with his ACE JACK oop.
Maybe though that is why Carlo is a poker pro and we are just recreational players.
Evening Richard, nice to see you looking so well on the show. Last week I thought we were going to lose you. Is Redmond tucked up in bed with that man-flu you gave him?
I believe that Carlo is heading off to Vegas pretty soon and this may be his last show before he leaves. I would like to wish him the best of luck over there. I'm a big fan of Carlo's analysis and hope he does very well. Come back with something sparkly around your wrist, Carlo.
Now, if I were President of Poker I would require that 40% of all online poker rake be paid directly to me as remuneration for my services as the aforementioned President of Poker. I'm not greedy - 40% will be enough.
My second act would be to ban Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer and Ray Bitar from any further poker activities. They ran off with my money! I'll never see that ten cents again...

More answers please folks and anything else you care to share with the rest of the class.
I'm never happy till I hit at least 100 posts. What's going on? Anyone would think we suddenly had good weather or something!
;-)

Hi Rich, Carlo, Jon,

"Unfold" - this button allows you to use hindsight to get back into the hand.
"Lendsies" - allows you to get your money back after being stacked
"Self Abuse" - no, it is to give yourself a good talking to in the chatbox.
have a good show.
Definitely will be read out on tonight's show and will be in the mix for the prize.
Cheers!

I'd be too busy counting out the back handers from well publicised American sites to worry about changes.
apart fom commissioning a competition to compose less suicidal background music for Sky Poker of course!
