No. YOU wero not right. When tho false opener had
announced his mistake. he was out OF that pot as part
Of the penalty for making the false opening. Tho rest
OF the penalty you would have to agree upon your.
selves. It should have been agreed upon before you
sat down to play. It is not infrequently agreed that
In case = PLAYER falsely opens II jack pot. he shall DO
required to pt up another pot Of the same size as the
ono which he falsely opened. In the case you cite,
after the false opener had announced his mistake
and Withdrawn. the opportunity should have been
given to each player behind him to open tho
pot. II no one could open 1t. there should have been n
new deal. Tho ago was deprived from opening with
his queens because he had passed In tho event Of n
second deal being required to open the pot. tho player
who made the false opening would be entitled to re-
ceive cards and play for tho pot. But he should be
required also to pay the penalty for tho false opening.
II that penalty consisted in putting up another pot. he
would be entitled 10 pay for that pot.

In the game. in the frst pot and in tho last one, In all
the other pots it represents only tho ante. which is 70
cents. The players who hold It In tho intermediate
pots neither gain by winning It nor lose by losing It
Tho only innovation in that game Is tho giving to tho
nrst dealer the opportunity to lose - cents more than
he otherwise would. with no corresponding opportunity
for extra winning.
