Re: If you are out of chips in mid hand- can cash play?
You have 400 posts and you don't know about table stakes?
What games have you been playing in live? |

Re: If you are out of chips in mid hand- can cash play?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] If you pull out cash at the beginning of a hand and request chips from the dealer, you are said to be "playing behind". You simply state which bets/raises you want to make or call and when your chips arrive, the dealer will sort it out for you. [/ QUOTE ] this is the case in ontario, but in vegas your cash goes into the pot [/ QUOTE ] Thank for pointing out the distinction. Does this happen a lot in Vegas? I'll be there this week to pop my Vegas cherry. |

Re: If you are out of chips in mid hand- can cash play?
Sorry for being slightly OT, but to add to the list, Foxwoods does now only allow $100's to play on the table. I felt stupid last week, as I had known this but still gave the guy next to me 2 $50's for chips and as soon as he put them behind his stack the dealer mentioned they wouldn't play & he'd need to buy chips.

[/ QUOTE ] Well Ive only played about a dozen times live but I guess I never really had to rebuy, so it wasn't an issue. Its nice to win [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Anyways, like I said before, I mainly play online so I know the rules there and was just curious if they translated to a B+M. Greg |

[/ QUOTE ] This rule is a good one; too bad the dealers often don't know about it and/or don't enforce it. I see people in the $100 max 1/2 NL game buying/selling chips for $20s all the time and I always have to be the one to speak up and make sure they get the low denominations converted to chips. I'd be really pissed if I got all-in with the best hand against somebody I had covered and lost $200 because it was in a lousy stack of 20s. |

Re: If you are out of chips in mid hand- can cash play?
Dealers are supposed to enforce the max buy-in policy. Keeping extra chips on the table isn't allowed, they are supposed to keep them elsewhere.
We added to the FAQ to include table stakes. We're going to edit / consolidate it in the near future to make it more readable and concise. al |

This rule is a good one; [/ QUOTE ] Agreed -- It was always annoying having someone at the table /w huge wads of bills. |

Re: If you are out of chips in mid hand- can cash play?
in AC, not once, but TWICE this weekend, i saw people buy in mid hand. once at the showboat and once at ballys. I said something at showboat and got scolded by the dealer b/c i wasn't in the hand. it was really odd.
