Bally\'s AC Floor: Live Straddles prohibited by NJ Gaming Commission???
I was playing 2/4 yesterday at Ballys Atlantic City. I had only planned on playing there for a little bit just to check out the room, but the game was amazing and I was running over the table. (9 to the flop capped preflop)
I was getting bored sometimes and I had a huge stack and would straddle every few rounds. The fist 2 dealers I did it with had no problem with it, but on another down the action got back to me and I tried to raise, and was told I couldn't. The dealer said there are no straddles and when I told him I straddles all that ment to him was a blind raise. I pulled my raise back to keep the action going because the floor was slow as [censored] at responding to floor calls, but I asked a floorman if this was Bally's policy and he told me "No, live Straddles are not allowed in Atlantic City, it's New Jersey law". Is this accurate? |

Just wait till you get your cards and announce "blind raise."

I have heard many times that live straddles are prohibited by ACGC. However, I am not an expert.

Also, I have no idea where I pulled "ACGC" from.

I don't know exactly who prohibits it, but you can't live straddle in AC, you can blind raise, which means you can't make it 3 bets when it gets back to you.
AC has lots of wierd rules, that's one of them |

In Vegas, OTOH, casinos seem to have the freedom to do whatever they want with their chip colors. Yes, blackis usually $100 and green $25, etc, but MGM has blue $1's, Aladdin has white $1s... |

[/ QUOTE ] I like the chip denomination rule. It's good to be consistant. I do wisht the $1 would be blue instead of white. It's so much cooler (and gets less dirty) |
