Yeah I was dealing that.....

I was trained by Mark and I was told that clock can't be called in cash.

You sure he taught you that?

Clock can be called, however it is rare and bad form unless it is persistent tanking. A supervisor will usually note the clock after has been called then use their own discretion on when the countdown starts.

FWIW, if a shuffle hasn't taken place then a new hand has not started. Action is given back and start again. Not rocket science really.

Its 2 actions that involve chips or 3 without chips.

Have you not won this argument yet rich? Lol.

Nope, v1.3 is telling me I failed lol

That's the thing Sunny I am just putting the other side of the discussion so people can way up themselves

There are 3 points of view to consider;

The Player
The Dealer
The TD

In live No limit Hold'em, should a player

a) be told what the pot size is by the dealer if asked

b) be able to "bet the pot"

I've always wondered why a player can't be told the pot-size though. better than spreading it and waiting for the player to count.

Theoretically the dealer will be providing assistance to the player not required by the rules of the game.  He can count a bet as calling the amount of that bet is required by the rules.

Hallelujah!!!

Free Rollin, the other half of the arguement against, is the stroke pull "if it isn't allowed", i.e I bet the pot (1200), sorry sir you are held to a bet but the pot isn't a legitimate bet, ok then I bet 25 kind of thing after seeing a players reaction.

And in Q2, betting the 'pot' would be a specifc bet amount would it not? therefore if declared it should both be allowed and stand as a bet.  

Junior, if that is the case if someone says "I bet a quarter of the pot", should that stand in no limit?

would that stand in pot limit?

No but I was trying to say if a specific bet is stated then it shouldn't necessarily go.

PaulHo, that is the arguement I am up against.

I am not asking as a TD lol, I know the answer and I know why the rule is in place ....... I have been told by a UK pro that it should be allowed, and he said if I ask anyone who knows anything about poker they would allow it too? Hence my question

Hi guys and gals,

I am sorry to change the topic of payout structures, but as it is my first post on this site, I just thought I would introduce myself to all blondites (and other card room managers, supervisors and dealers) My name is Richard and I am the card room manager of the Broadway Casino. I can only apologise for the delay in my joining your site, my excuse for the delay is, as i hope you can appreciate, i have been rushed off my feet getting it off the ground. After fighting my corner with the big bosses, they have realised the potential of our card room and the tide seems to be turning my way. i have trawled your site for the last few hours and would just like to pick up on a few points and questions that have been asked about our card room.

i would like to apologise to ifm and the wall and any other players confused about our ever changing programme. As we were starting afresh and i didn't know how many and the quality of poker staff we were opening with, i started with three no limit comps. one being a friday. i was told due to staffing levels being low that i must change this to a wednesday. i figured as all card rooms had a texas game on wednesdays, i would try an omaha comp. i can honestly hold my hands up and say catagorically IT WAS A FLOP (pardon the pun). i could go on and on about the reasons we chopped and changed. So to cut a long story short we have settled down now to a regular Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 20 no limit hold'em comp. However it has surpassed my expectations without any advertising to such an extent that after our Festival in September we will be running a 7 day programme. And plans to expand the card room have already been discussed. Once this is confirmed we will actively promote and inform all players on a regular basis of any changes to our programme.

Dress code-- Yes we do operate a strict dress code policy but not as strict as when we first opened, jeans are allowed as long as they are not ripped, we do not allow any sportswear although smart trainers are now accepted, I would urge anyone to turn up at least smart/casual to avoid disappointment.

Car Park facility-- Yes we pay for the car park, and I must say that it is the safest car park in the Midlands if not the U.K. on top of that there is a service to valet your car whilst you are in the casino during the Afternoon!

Foul Language and bad sportsmanship will not be tolerated, but fortunately all players seem to respect the atmosphere they play in, and players renowned for these offences have realised that this will be the heart of poker in Birmingham, and are not willing to jeopardise their membership. Although I am itching to make an example of someone lol.

Smoking-- Yes it is a non smoking competition, however we do give the option for no-smoking or smoking permitted cash games at either end of the card room.

Thats the Questions cleared up, but quite happy to answer any others or queries

I was highly amused at dani versaces attempt to sound like a customer saying that walsall had blown us out of the water on our opening competition. I also find it amusing that junction 10 when it first opened tried its damnedest to blow the rainbow away with guarantees, when it succeeded and it was the only venue in town it treated the customers like crap. The next guarantee was when we had guaranteed 10000 for an 80 seater 100 freeze out. They made a last minute guarantee of 15000 (funny that) and yet they still took 10% registration fee off their 189 players. So competiton actually increased their revenue and they made 1890 from you players!! Guess what, they have now have some guarantees. Maybe due to a plc being scared and head office allegidly telling J10 to do anything they can to "**** us up" I personally think this is fantastic for all card players. When their league is over i feel there will be some amazing money being splashed around to keep punters there. Waiting for the 2nd week in September to see what gem they come up with during our festival. Will they compete with Grosvenor Blackpools weekend?.....me thinks!

Yogi-- I do realise yours was already planned spoke to the Fox last night. I have also got 2 more CR managers/ head supervisors interested in meeting.

GEE GODS MY FINGERS ACHE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's me thinking I have progressed in the last 7 years ........... sigh

The TD then whipped out an AK-47, riddled the disqualified player with bullets and called for Sinclair to drag his still twitching corpse out to the dumpster.

  

Sigh ........... if only ......... *floats away to a happy place

If I LOL at a DTD ruling now will I be barred? 

After a strange and emotional week where I have to bury my brother in law, and a quest for songs for his funeral, I remembered years ago I wanted this to be played at mine.

Correct the button the next hand by taking it back one then go forward 2 the hand after, then everyone has paid the sb, bb and received the button in an orbit. (As Gatso said)
