Re: Is this a string bet?

The TDA change this spring was very surprising but it has nothing to do with cash games.

I referenced the TDA rule to show that, across the board- in both Cash & Tourney games, Dealers are suppose to call string bets.
Which, I think is fair. But then again- my opinion rarely matters. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I would say not calling string bets is the more common rule (it is that way in all the card barns).
They do call string bets in out of the way places like Las Vegas [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
This might be a good place to mention that I hear all the time "they do it that way in Vegas." I would say at least 80% of the people working in poker in Vegas are clueless.
edit to add: As you go up in limits the argument for the dealer staying out of it goes up. At the higher limits it is much more likely for the players to understand what is or isn't a string bet than the dealers.
