[B]Clearly state your intentions.[/B] There was a woman at my table who put out a $5 chip to get change, but the dealer interpreted it as calling the hand that was in play. She called the floor manager over, but he ruled against her and she lost the money. I played at a local pub poker league for a while before my first trip to Vegas and it was helpful for getting used to handling cards and chips, and for learning to keep track of stack and pot sizes. The skill level varies, but it's free and it was fun. I won some cash prizes and some restaurant coupons. Just search for "Pub Poker" in your area and there are probably multiple groups to choose from. [/QUOTE]
