Dealer says its 300 more to you

(1/7) > >>

Motobaka72:
Is there a rule or procedure preventing the dealer from announcing how much more a player needs to call?

For example
Albert bets 100
Bernard raices to 400
Dealer says to Albert: its 300 more to go.

I've always instructed my dealers to state the amount of the raise or the bet, but lately I've been trying to document it and I'm not sure where I got that from.

Dave Miller:
I'm a lead dealer and train new dealers for a pub league in NJ.

I wrote a 7 page "Dealer Guidelines" document that is intended to help new dealers that may know the basics, but not some of the nitty-gritty.

In it I state:

--- Quote ---Dealers are encouraged to count and announce bets whenever possible and practical.
--- End quote ---

Some of our players object, stating it's not the way they do it in casinos. I respond saying that I've seen it plenty of times and think it's more of a 'house rules' sort of thing.

Dave Miller:
I should have checked first.

There’s a 2019 TDA procedure for that.


--- Quote from: TDA Procedure 12: Dealers Should Announce Bets & Raises ---Dealers should routinely announce non-all-in bet values as betting proceeds around the table. All-in bets will be counted only on request of the player currently facing action. Accepted action continues to apply (Rule 49). Scheduled and discretionary color-ups improve bet countability.
--- End quote ---

Of course, kinda happy my guidelines agree - except I don’t make the exception for all-ins.

Motobaka72:
What I'm trying to say is if its ok for the dealer to say how much more a person has to call rather than the complete bet amount.

Let me try to clarify my example.

For example
Albert bets 100
Bernard raises to 400
Dealer says to Albert: its 300 more to go. Instead of dealer says to Albert: raise to 400.

Dave Miller:
Oh. That’s covered too.
 
--- Quote from: TDA Procedure 12: Dealers Should Announce Bets & Raises ---Dealers should routinely announce non-all-in bet values....
--- End quote ---

Announce the total amount.

I would think that if the player ask how much more, then it’s ok. And probably automatically ok if the player asks for the initial bet to be brought in.
