A few more questions about live play in Atlantic City
I have zero experience playing B&M poker, so I had a few basic questions. I don't wanna ask a pit boss or dealer there and look suspicious as I am underage, don't wanna draw any attention to myself.
1. How often do you toke and how much? 2. How long does one have to wait to get a seat in the Taj? This will probably depend on the day and time, but on average? 3. Do the dealers announce the pot size on their own or perhaps when asked? I'm not accustomed to counting the pot by myself, so I should get ready for that. I figure I'd keep better track of the bets going in, since the pot won't exactly be neatly organized in the middle. 4. I was told in my other thread that 0.5/1 doesn't exist in AC, so which games are the most accessible as a small stakes NL player? How is the competition in 1/2? I play 0.5/1 and 1/2 at Party, will live play be very different? 4. Any other code or conduct or etiquette I should be aware of? Basically I just don't want to make an ass out of myself, especially at the table with everyone watching. Damn, I feel nervous already. Thanks guys. |

Oh, thanks. I didn't know there was a B&M forum.

[ QUOTE ] Don't visit a casino until you are legal unless getting carded, interrogated, possibly having your chips confiscated and being banned from the casino doesn't make you feel like an a$$. Keep making money online. Wait until you are legal age before venturing into a casino. Playing 26 an hour isn't as profitable as the 400 per hour you can churn out online. Oh yeah, the B&M forum has several similar threads you read, some of them by people actually caught being under-aged in casino. Use search feature. |

Im sure that if you're beating 1/2 on Party you'll crush 1/2 in the casino. And count the bets going into the pot. And just watch everyone else for everything else. You'll be fine. You might have to remove your sunglasses, hat or iPod while raking your enormous pots, though.

Re: A few more questions about live play in Atlantic City
When I do go to AC, I play the Trop, and love it. The wait usually isn't long.
I've never asked the dealer for a pot count, honestly. I just estimate it based on the chips sitting in the middle. I've seen the following as the lowest games there: $1/$2 NL ($200 max buyin) $2/$5 NL ($500 max buyin) $2/$4 Limit You'll do fine, unless you act like an ass online.
