Re: Interesting ruling..
[ QUOTE ]
Why can't players just speed up the game by verbally declaring their actions?
I have played in so many games (limit) where players just toss in chips and then get upset/yells when the dealer/players do not notice the raise. Come on people

This is SOP at the casino I usually play at. I play limit, so it's not as important to declare an exact amount as in NL, but everyone pretty much always says "Call", "Raise", even "Fold" out loud. (We do have one semi-regular who doesn't, but he only plays my level when he's trashed and then his action is simple...he raises every street. No calls, no folds, just raises.)
I tell you, the more threads I read in B&M, the more grateful I am for my home casino. We have a cel phone rule, the dealers are always appreciative of tips (even the ones where the guy wins a huge kill pot and asks his dealer to chop a dollar chip for him), we have auto-shufflers... etc.
Edit: I think the ruling that the betting player needs to speak up when his bet is misstated was correct.
