Default Foxwoods, an angle waiting to happen

When you sitdown at a Foxwoods table, you notice a line on the felt that goes all around the table. In some casinos this is a betting line. At Foxwoods it is a please push your bet or cards here so the dealer doesn't have to stretch line. So one angle some players will call on you is if you put a bet in front of your cards but before the line. Since it looks like a betting line people do it all the time. I have not seen anyone try this angle.

The 2nd one is potentially worse and is for people that take a stack of chips and then only drop some of the chips. Well another player in the hand can call you on this and say you have to bet the whole stack of chips. Again I have not seen anyone call the angle, but I know some people will do it so be careful. One of the guys at my table was talking about this and said he would call someone on it everytime if he had a good hand. The problem is the dealer can't call it, so unless you know the rule, you can easily be angled. I don't like the fact the dealers don't warn people about it. Not sure how other casinos work with this situation.

Of course the solution is only bring forward the chips you want to bet. Thats what I do.
