Re: What poker sites enforce an english only at the table rule?
Yesterday at Commerce, I found myself saying "English only at the table please", to the dealer.

[ QUOTE ]
I've never been to a casino that didn't enforce english only [/ QUOTE ] last year i played in a casino in texas. it was on a small indian reservation near the mexican border. (the only cardroom in texas "thanks" to Jack Abramoff.) anyway, while i was waiting for my seat i overheard a couple guys speak spanish and i thought "i hope they dont try and pull that while im seated. ill have to say something." once i got seated i realized there was only one other anglo there and the rest were native american and mexican/mexican-american. for them spanish was their primary language. if i had made a request for them to speak english i would have gotten laughed out of the room. about 60% of the table talk (including dealer's) was done in spanish. when the floor was called over to settle a dispute at one point it was done in spanish. not particulary germane to the original post, but i always thought it was interesting story. bwana

[ QUOTE ] PokerStars enforces English only, incidentally. [/ QUOTE ] Not the PokerStars I play at. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. I run into too many groups of chummy Finnish players.
