Wasn't that the same hand that you told me that I couldn't play with my small stack big blind because it wasn't fair to you who was on the small blind, so you pushed all in on anger?

Just as a heads up (you weren't listening because you thought it was unfair)...Play any tournament online or offline..A person can remain in with only 1 chip if need be..This is to allow that person to finish higher based on another player busting on an all in, thus moving that straggler in the hunt for prize.

All the small stack does is create a side pot and it allows other players to fold out while you keep your small blind. A full bet of the big blind is what the other players need to play the hand. Being on the small blind still gives you the same option...to check, raise another better or fold. If nobody bets the BB value, than the small stack and small blind automatically play for that pot, and the winner takes all.

I was infuriated that the dealers there told me that I HAD to put in my last 100 chips regardless of whether or not I was on the button (which I was). Any tourney player will reiterate what I say: You remain in the game until your chips are all gone...Not when you have 1 chip left, 100, or anything above or beyond. You aren't forced to bet until the BB is on you, or there is an ante.

This is in no means a shot on you or the event organizers...It's a shot at the dealers who are there to make sure that the rules are followed to a T. They were however telling me that I was incorrect, which DEFINITELY was not the case.

Cheers anyways, and I look forward to playing more cards with you at final tables in future events.
