Teavis 0 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 At the Shoe in Hammond, the dealer's define your staging area as the area behind your cards. Every other casino I've ever played live in either has an inner ring to the table or some other sort of logo or something that you must place your bet beyond for it to be in play. I usually keep my cards pretty close to the rail, and so I obviously ran into problems when I was shuffling chips in front of my cards while I was waiting for action to come to me. Once I was forced to call a preflop bet of $10 when I had every intention of folding. Up until this point I've never had a string bet called on me in several years of playing live, ever. Has anyone else ran into this?I should say it worked to my advantage once when I moved on a guy and got insta called. The dealer called a string bet and I only had to call. The guy proceeded to tilt away his stack. Fun times. Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you were dumb enough to have the rule called on you once and didn't make any adjustments to prevent the rule from being called on you again.Oh wait... Link to post Share on other sites

CrookedLink 0 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 The behind the cards rule is pretty standard.Just keep your cards a bit out front but with a chip to protect them and you'll have all the space you need to shuffle your stack. Link to post Share on other sites
