Hi Stuart. Yes, he wasn"t the most pleasant was he?
I didn"t know the rules either - and that"s part of APAT's goal, to work towards standardised rules across all card rooms in the UK.
As you were volunteering to deal (and you did a bloody good job of it), you can"t be expected to enforce or make rulings. I was tempted to call the TD over for a ruling, but didn"t think it really needed it. The game had otherwise been played in good spirits and most at the table were friendly and enjoying themselves.
In the end, I made the right choice on that hand. Laid down the AQ to the other fella"s AK. Didn"t make a difference in the end though!
Yes, I"ve got a seat - so I"ll guess I"ll see you in Manchester.

I come from the old school of poker and for somebody not in the hand to call for the clock is a breach of basic table etiquette. In short, if you are out of the hand then you should show respect for those still in the hand. Activities such as discussing the hand in play, calling the clock etc are out or order.
I think that Rule 44 does need a tweak to cater for the Self-deal scenarios at the Regional Tournaments. In my view, if the dealer is playing in the competition, then they should not be allowed to call the clock irrespective of whether they are in the hand.
Also, should APAT produce a crib sheet for the Self-deal tournaments outlining what the dealer is expected to do and what should be left to the TD?
