Re: Nit Procedure Question

There's also a difference between moving "away" from the blind and moving "out of" the big blind. The three seat rule is common for moving away (i.e., if you're not yet in the BB, you can move no...

Re: Heads up agreement?

If instead of getting all in, those two players had folded (after putting in, say, $100), the two remaining players are free -- as heads up live game players -- to check, bet, chop the pot, run the...

Re: Heads up agreement?

In a tournament, there is often an implicit agreement. I know, however, that to express such an agreement in words in a tournament is absolutely unacceptable.

Heads up agreement?

I witnessed an incident recently and would like to hear the opinions from this forum. In a 2/5NL cash game, four palyers at a full table saw the flop. The flop action resulted in two players...

Re: Question regarding the Double The Raise rule...

The first raise was $150 (BB/$100 + $150 = $250). Therefore, the next raise must be $150 or more. If the next player raises to $750, he has made a raise of $500. In order to raise (ignoring for...

Re: Paying for food/drinks/etc: Out of stack or wallet?

I always pay from my pocket. It makes it easier to keep accurate track of wins and losses.

Re: Attempted \"robbery\" at Isle of Capri LA

I played there once. I was the BB and made a baby flush, slightly bigger than the SB's baby flush. The Ace was on the board, and the dealer started to split the pot. When I objected, he said "It's...

Re: Venetian Poker Rate?

I found the same un-helpful attitude at the Venetian. First, make sure you talk to the poker room, not just the reservations line. Second, until they know you they'll book the room at the regular...

Re: NL re-raise rule

The floor is incorrect (though, of course, house rules obtain).

I don't know about arrogant and condescending, but RR is right. The half-bet rule applies to limit poker, not big bet poker.

I...

Re: hands/hr. in a live game?

An average of 37 hands per hour at a full no limit table? Nonsense.

Re: Draft of Florida Gaming Compact

My opinion is that the Seminoles read the Florida statute correctly in the first place. There is no limit on the buy in amount in the law, but because of the ongoing negotiations with the state, the...

Re: Can a Dealer Coach a Player During a Hand?

Bernie -- I agree completely, but "tapping the muck" is the rule in that card room. Interestingly, the floor also gave us an advisory opinion. If the person with QQ had asked to see the hand, it...

Re: Can a Dealer Coach a Player During a Hand?

The rule is simple. No one should EVER tell another player to turn his cards up. IF a player tables his cards face down, the dealer's only job is to take them and muck them (though in some...

Re: Well, Florida, how did the first day of NL/$5limit games treat you

If the rake is already maxed (which in such cases it almost always will be), the house really should not care. IF the house objects because it is killing time and they want to get in another hand,...

Re: Well, Florida, how did the first day of NL/$5limit games treat you

Has anyone heard anything about the rooms letting no limit players make deals or run two boards? A player made a request the other night at a $2/5 game at Coconut Creek, but the other player...

Re: Well, Florida, how did the first day of NL/$5limit games treat you

I haven't been to the Hard Rock yet, but at Coconut Creek the $1/2 NL game has a $50 minimum buy in and a $200 max and the $2/5 is $100/$500. The other night they spread a $5/10 NL game with a $500...

I was at Coconut Creek last night at midnight. As I was told and posted here, a whole variety of limit and no limit games were offered, though not all were spread. I played 2/5 no limit, and weak...

Re: \"I Check / Raise In the Dark.\" Is the Raise Binding?

I was recently surprised to witness an argument between a local and a tourist at a NL table at the Mirage, and the floor there confirmed that in that room (which he described as "serious"), a verbal...
