Being in a card room for the first time can be intimidating. Often times, the poker world does not do enough to encourage new players into the poker world. With that in mind, here is the latest in a continuing series of “Do’sâ€, and “Don’ts†for when you first step into a card room.
DO: When you want to raise, say the word “Raise!” clearly and loudly, then get the amount of chips desired/necessary. If you simply throw out a $20 chip on a $10 bet, and don’t say raise (or anything at all) your $20 will be considered a call, and the dealer will give you back $10 whether you like it or not…
DON’T: Take it out on the dealer. Please do not yell at, Cuss, throw cards, or any other objects at the dealers. It isn’t his or her fault. Don’t say something about the dealer to the table, but loud enough for him or her to hear. Dealers are human beings doing noble work – treat them like it!
