someone needs to speak up so i ll do it. if u smell bad when u come home from work take a freakin shower before u come to the games. i dont want to smell u and i m sure no one eles dose. we had one guy at our table that smelled like straight ass some of u might know him he wore a gas mask one day to the game. if u smell that bad that u need a mask then u need to take a damn shower u stinky ass retard. i think if some places of employment can send u home for bad hygenes then riverchasers should be able to kick u out of a game for smelling like XXXX to |

I usually only smell after I leave. Maybe he knows he's going to smell like a dirty ashtray by the end of the night so figures it's pointless to clean up beforehand.

Well, I haven't seen anyone where a gas mask, maybe an air filter way back when Riverchasers started and smoking was really bad. But I have sat aside of at least one person who almost always has very bad BO (from pits) and another that has very heavy Rose perfume on which aggravates an allergy to that scent. So no perfume please to cover some ones stench.
Just try and take them out as fast as possible,lol. |

I've donked off chips before because of similar circumstances. I won't say anything to them, they have a right to be there. If you can't handle it... do what I did.. leave.
I wouldn't hand my chips in either because I wouldn't want to give any suspicion to my true intentions. Just swallow it up, look like a donk and get outta dodge |

Ugh this happend to me last night. I got stuck next to a guy who absolutely wreaked. At the first table. Then the second table and then at the final table. I ended up playing a hand I would not have normally played and then pushed all-in post flop with only 8 outs. I just needed to get away from him.
I think it's bs that people are subjected to it. I was going to hit another venue tomorrow night (or tonight I should say as it's after midnight) but this person stated they were going....no way. I'll be damned if I'm going to be subjected to that XXXX again. How are you supposed to concentrate when you can't freaking breathe?! Nasty fugger made me nauseated and gave me a headache. Plus fugged up my chances for the Super Satellite. |

Ha ha Griff.
All i'm saying by his story and the amount of these evnets I have played that at the final table he was a mid to low stack. Got in cheap with his Sooooted connectors. Flopped the OESD and Jammed. I'm not saying this is a bad play but the smell of the guy is not the reason the move was made is all. |

I beg to differ...
Maybe you can sit next to him at 3 tables in one night next time...
I'm not a loose player...you don't know me at all, you don't know my play style. You can ask anyone who watched me play through the tourneys if that was my play style at all.

millerd33: The joke is on you.
He is actually a she. She started the first game at my table. Kelly played aggressive all night long until she got down to the final 4 then she got blinded out quickly. |

Lucorpan: Why didn't you talk to the TD (tourny director) and complain?
The odoriferous offender has been told to clean up his act before he comes to play again. |

The odoriferous offender has been told to clean up his act before he comes to play again.
If a DJ comes into a bar to spin some records, should you go to the DJ if there is a smelly person dancing next to you.
Same with a band.. Do you go up during set break and ask the lead singer to ask the individual to leave?
Say its trivia instead?
In case you can't figure out what I'm getting at here, it is not the TD's responsibility..
Are you patronizing the tournament or are you patronizing the establishment?
The answer should be and is the establishment. You are not paying Riverchasers one dime.
That means if you have a problem with a person at an establishment sitting near to you, contact the waitperson, bartender, manager, or owner. The TD shouldn't have to be responsible for things that have nothing to do with the game. And, as Miller said, a person with bad odor sitting next to you does not cause you to lose a game. You do.

I would think if the issue was dangerous or physically abusive then I would agree with you RIP.
Since this is a player issue, the TD suggested to me the next night that Lucorpan should have talked to them and he would have asked the offender to do something about it. Kelly could have asked to be moved to another table/seat so she was less affected by the odors.
I agree with Griffs' assesment, those damn cards always get me too. |

A single point of contact between the players and the venue (which is what the TD actually is) will be better for the players and for RPT. The TD develops a busiiness relationship with the venue owner and the TD will try to maintain a balance for everyone that is fair and honest. By allowing each player to contact the owner about every little issue, there will never be a balance.
Some players want the music louder, others want peace and quiet. Some want to smoke like chimneys while others want smoke free.
The TD could move a stinky player to a smokers table and then no one would be able to smell anything. It is a win-win situation. |

I am just curious as to WHO told him/her this.

Well thats nice the friend was concerned, but nowhere in the rules does it say anything about ejecting players or not allowing players to play on the basis of their hygiene.
Now if someone went to the restaraunt/bar staff it would be a different situation. The TD is not an agent of the restaurant/bar, no matter what relationship he or she has with the staff/ownership there.

But the TD is a representative of RPT and they need to support ALL the players at an event.
If players complain about a person (no matter what the situation) and they threaten to leave, then the TD should try to alleviate the situation as best they can.
No one said the person was banned or removed from the game. They busted out when they chased. Kelly didn't last much longer then. |
