So is noten reach against the rules or not?
If you\'re goal is to chombo, why not just false ron. If you no ten reach you still may play into it by accident... either way make a habit of it and you\'ll probably be asked to leave where ever you\'re playing at.

well yea declaring false ron all over the time would be damn rude. Anyway we are drifting off from the main topic so i just stop my theory\'s at this point :)
Just play fair every time and nothing can go wrong.
