Las Vegas rooms--- it is time
 

This will never happen BUT it is time.....

Poker rooms in Las Vegas need to standardize poker rules.
A few examples----
1. Buy the button -- some rooms yes, some no
2. Post between the button -- some yes, some no
3. Must moves--some yes, some no, some chain, some for an hour
4. 3rd. man walking, some yes, some no
5. Cash plays, some yes some no
6. In no-limit when all in, some must turn cards up, some no.
7. Dealer reads the cards. some yes, some no
and the list goes on and on.

Now I know, each poker room manager THINKS they know best and will not change. But, it is time to get poker under control.
When entering a room it would be nice to have a STANDARD rule base.....

I think the PPA or some one needs to step in and get this done,
BUT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN---------

In regards to 6, what rooms make you flip your cards in a cash game?

Bellagio--- lower no-limit games

Not sure if I'm in the minority, but I prefer a diverse marketplace that allows me to choose the room and rule-set that maximizes my EV.

I like the different rules. Some of the donks out there don't know how to adapt or spend too much time thinking about them.

I know that I love asking if I can post now or if I need to wait. I'm sure everyone thinks "omg fish" right when I say that.

Not a big fan of standardizing many of the things you refer to.

Things like Buying the Button and posting between are really unimportant to the play of the game and don't matter if standrd or not.

must moves are the sort of thing where different systems may benefit different rooms. So let the room pick the system which it thinks best meets its needs. Same thing with 3rd man walking.


What I would like to see is that rooms which have unusual rules (like Planet Hollywoods raise must double the total previous bet rule) should make sure that players are aware of the rule.

I also hate when a dealer represents a rule as being the standrad when it isn't. Playing at the Monte Carlo (las vegas) I hadd a dealer tell the entire table that taking a drop without a flop is standard in Vegas, and that every room in Vegas would kill your hand in a tournament if you expose it while action is pending).

The last thing I'd ever want to see is the PPA telling Bellagio how to run their poker room.

What does #7 mean? Is this the same as cards speak? If so, isn't it standard?

You turn your hand up and the dealer announces what you have.

If your opponent has not tabled his hand and misreads what you have, the dealer's announcement might make him realize he has a winner and not muck. Conversely, if the dealer makes a mistake and over calls your hand and your opponent mucks a winner, he is out of luck.
