Re: A few questions on live play in Atlantic City
Are you talking about limit or no limit? The lowest limit game in AC is 2-4 and the lowest no limit is 1-2 blind (not sure on min-max buyin). Dealers don't announce the size of the pot, you have to keep track. The exception I believe is in a big bet game if you say I bet the pot, they may tell you how big it is. Otherwise, no. Competition is weak at all low limit games.
Proper table manners: Act quickly and in turn. Don't ask to see someone's mucked hand. Pay attention. Don't criticize the play of others or abuse the dealer.
Other: Protect your hand, make sure only you can see it. Put a chip on your cards while you play a hand so the dealer doesn't accidently muck them. If you bet and everyone folds, don't relinguish your cards until the pot is pushed to you (if you just muck and miss that there was a live hand against you, your hand may be declared dead if it can't be recovered). Also, don't relinguish a hand face down until you ACTUALLY SEE a hand that beats you...don't worry about what people say they have, make sure.
