I like to call out "beer and cheeseburgers" while I make the correct bet in the correct manner.

I know it's my first time, but I was going to say "here come the chips" every time I bet. Bad?

well, since you are stressing about how to leave the table to take a leak, I guess saying something like that every time would be a sure way to mark yourself as a complete wank.

It's my preflop cap with 72o that will mark me as a wank [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Don't leave cash on the table. Buy chips and leave them instead.

This confuses me. Cash plays at the games I'm in, and you can't take the money off the table, just like you can't take the chips off unil you leave. So I would think allowing players to snatch their cash when they leave for a break wouldn't be allowed.

I like to call out "two bets" instead of raise

[/ QUOTE ]

Isnt this a bad idea? What of you have AA and you are raising no matter what but you missed a raise so you say two bets which is a call, wouldnt you now be forced to call in most rooms.

You clearly missed the point of my story. I was forced to raise when I didn't want to. When I get burned by it happening the other way, I'll go back to calling "raise". And start to pay attention to my table.

I agree with the previous advice given and have one thing to add. Anytime you move your chips in front of your cards that is a bet. For instance, suppose you have ADD (like me) and have to hold a few chips in your hand at all times and decide you want to check. If you tap the table in front of your cards with chips in your hand that is a BET (at least where I play). If you do this as others have and make a stink about it, expect a donk like me to reraise you quickly [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Good luck in AC. The fishing has been good for me at the Trop, but I'm sure the Taj has a well-stocked pond as well. For low limits try to time your play to start about one hour or so after a tournment starts as most of the fish who bust out early will go looking for action since they budgeted their day assuming they will make the final table.

Since I suck at tournaments, I like to enter them as a device to ensure I'm getting into the live games at the same time as the worst players in the room.

Hi,

Good luck with your trip. I have a few, I didn't see it mentioned, but then I didn't read all posts. Be careful of your tells (i.e. telegraphing ahead of time) if you are going to call, raise or fold.) Also pay attention to how you bet. I try to put my chips in the same way, some people bet differently when they have good/bad hands. Also some people get so excited when they have a good hand that they will try to raise their "opening bet" etc. True they could be faking it. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Also, check on their seat change policy incase you want to change seats. Some places go by who has been at the table the longest while others go by who asked first.

All good tips.

If my cards at the casino are as good as the cards I've had for the last hour and 20 min on line (+40BB in 70 min) then I think I'll be fine.
