I didn’t know that a tournament player could be kicked off from the tourney for considered misbehavior just for talking to another player. I see the gravity of what he said, but sometimes we watch conversations on the TV that only have the intention of being prejudicial to other players. And I never saw anyone warning these pros. It’s good to know not everything is allowed in what matters to side action in a real poker tourney.
no one has been bust out in the tournament because of chatting bad with your opponents...some people do more than this...i think a chat ban will do but busting you out in a tourney is too much...even in live tournament argument happens but no one has been bust out....

to me all those questions were very normal- when you sit next to a babe with extra huge boobs- naturally u begin to talk to her about those...in one way or another, and when you are sitting with a controversial person- you talk about those things that made him/her an unwanted person...strange one

bit of a disgrace booting the guy out the tourney for after all what was only some questions, he was probably only asking what millions of robbed players would have asked her themselves.
