When a dealer mis-announces my bet like this, is it my obligation to correct him prior to other players acting?

Yes. If you don't want to speak (a notion that seems silly to me), maybe shaking your head disapprovingly at the dealer, while scowling, will get the point across that he's wrong. Lotsa luck with that.

Of course, a good dealer won't need to be corrected, because he won't announce an amount. He'll let your stack of chips sit there, and he'll remain as silent as a cigar store Indian. If an opponent asks, "How much is that?", a good dealer will not assume anything, and will count it down.

Of course, if more than 5% of the dealers out there were "good", we wouldn't be having this discussion. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
