Vegas Fact #4 part two

In Vegas fact #4 I mentioned that you can use cell phones in cash games but not tournaments.

So I'm playing in a tournament this afternoon while trying to respond to a text message by typing in a few words between each hand. Well the dealer starts to deal as I'm putting my phone back in my pocket and apparently I annoyed him because he declared my hand dead. He never warned me and the truth is half the dealers don't even bother enforcing it. But he declared my hand dead. And he was right.

I actually liked his style and the fact that he ran a tight table but me being me, I had to get the last laugh. So after that anytime I wanted to muck my cards I didn't bother to toss them to him. Instead I simply took out my phone.
