Now regardless of wether we race or round, this player was in danger of getting colored out of the tournament! I was the TD at the time and ruled to just color him up to 1 $100 chip. some at the table bitched that I just tripled him for free...My response was that I didn't think we should color anyone out of the tourney..[they eventually agreed when I said if that happened the bounty would roll over to next week, and might not be at their table]
anyone dealt with this before or see a flaw in my reasoning / ruling... |
From what I have read and seen, you did the right thing.
When we color from 25 to 100 we usually race, but when we go from 100 to 500 we just round up.
In your scenario, because of this situation, if I were the TD I would have rounded up all players
this time, and left that player with one chip.
Mostly because the next bet this person makes, or blind he posts, puts him all-in anyway. (Assuming that since you colored up your 25's to 100's the blinds must have currently been 100/200.)
