The rule has always been present though. It's more to do with the fact that if the dealer screws up the deal and there's a straddle there, it's considered to be reasonable action and a misdeal can't be declared. What follows is a whole stupid mess that's a huge waste of everyone's time so waiting another 10 secs for the cards to come out isn't really a huge deal in my eyes
Lee has way, way too much influence. Lost count of the number of times he insists upon a raise when two red chips are bet following a four dollar raise. The intention of call is obvious but his pedantism overrules. Catches players from interstate every time. Haven't seen him in for a while? Maybe his mental health issues have caught up with him? Did you see him over the weekend?
