Re: Commerce or the Bike?
The Bike. The wait staff is much better looking. The action is hot, hot, hot. The food is better. Parking more secure. Less a-holes.

Re: What is the proper way to raise?
At some casinos, especially in tournaments, if the whole stack goes over the line, it's a bet. No dropping the stack and pulling back 90% of it. It's considered an intent to bet, and it's a bet.

Re: Keep money on table with table change?
I think it depends on the room. Here in So. Cal., I believe all the rooms will allow you to reduce. I can't think of any instance where a player was required to bring all his/her chips.
