It's like any other sport... you don't stop running/shooting/carrying the ball etc. until the whistle is blown and the Ref is stopping the action.
I just hold onto my cards until the dealer looks at me and asks for them back.

Though it does give the image of a clueless idiot. Hmm, maybe I'll start...

Re: B&M costly newbie error - DON\'T DO WHAT I DID!!!
Wow! Just came across this post after doing a search for "Melbourne" I was there when this happened and I remember it well, especially the pair of fours winning! I was the one on the (non-folding) end of the table (to the dealer's left) leading the pack giving you heaps (in a friendly way of course...) That was a great night and yes I love the loose passives that abound on the 4/8 tables at crown. (I am certainly not one of them!) Now when I tell this story I can add that it made it as a post on the 2+2 forum. I could but I wont. Don't want those laggies getting in on my advantage over them. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Anyway, hope you enjoyed you time at with us in Melbourne. Thanks for posting this, I'ld say that's it worth about 15 seconds of fame for both of us.
