A Tad Excessive?

[user37786]
[user37786]
The new rules concerning excessive celebrations seem to have done the trick. You haven't heard people screaming and yelling and stepping away from the table to display their new dance routine in the aisle.

That said there are the occasional outbursts. Like the one that just happened at Table #17. We're not sure what happened during the hand, but suddenly one player said, "Yes! WHOOOOOO!!!!! ROCKETMAN!!!"

As the losing player stood up and walked away in disgust no less a personage than T.J. Cloutier turned around from his seat at Table #16 and said, "You know that there are rules about excessive celebration, right?" But it appears that shouting "WHOOOO, ROCKETMAN!!!" falls just short of "excessive", as no penalty was given.
