Message: [QUOTE="buckshot1969, post: 1594315, member: 39886"] We recently (about four months ago) got table games at the local casino and there is a fairly active poker room. I've played primarily in Atlantic City and have never had any issues but it seems like every time I go to this casino I have the floor hounding me about some stupid rule. The new casino is about 1/2 hour away while AC is about 3. First of all, they will not allow you to have an MP3 player on the table, you have to hold it or keep it in your pocket. I don't see where holding an electronic device could take away an advantage I'd have by having it in my cup holder. Second, they won't allow you to put in both earbuds, you can only use one. I find this particularly asinine because sometimes you want to drown out an idiot. I usually just put it back in when they walk away but on my last visit they brought over security and made a big deal out of it. I don't like to talk when I play and I feel when I do I might give away info, sometimes I don't even have music playing I just don't want to be talked to. Also, I had a hand where I made the low end of a straight and declared a straight and showed my cards after the final round of betting. Everybody started mucking their cards and the dealer said "Doesn't anybody have a ten?" when a ten would have made the high end of the straight. I politely told the dealer that he shouldn't help players if they're mucking. He told me that since it was checked down that everybody has to show their cards anyway so it didn't matter. He also said that if somebody would have taken their cards back and shown a ten that would have been ok as long as their cards didn't touch the muck. I've also seen them tell players things like "The way you're going, I wouldn't fold anything pre-flop" or comment on how much I've won. I don't want the dealer telling other (new) players how long I've been there or how much I've won or lost. Am I nuts or have entered some alternate universe where I'm the only person with any common sense? [/QUOTE]
