'I know that you know that my attempted PSB is probably a case of strong-means-weak, but I know you don't know that I'm actually strong.' Double levelling by a pro, FTW. The TD's ruling here was 100% correct, and I suspect Ted knew that, and tried to 'bet the pot' in order to induce a call from his opponent by giving a 'fake strength' reverse tell. In limit and NL, it is the player's responsibility to track the pot size. The only reason a dealer can state/count the size of the pot in PL is that the pot size is, by rule, the maximum allowable bet. It's a stupid rule, especially if the chips are already stacked. People taking Sammy Farhas word on what dealers are cracks me up. In a wsop event I asked the dealer how tall the stacks in the pot were and he said he couldn't tell me, so I slowed the game down and counted myself. Amnon said you can't Daniel said you can. The OP went into piss-and-vinegar mode at the mere suggestion that Bay 101 is a private business, but again, did zero to refute this. DN was talking about it on HSP arguing that you can ask the dealer how much is in the pot. The casino is NOT a private entity, which means it does not reserve the right to refuse service to someone (other than for a protected status). If they can handle pot size bets in pot limit games, why can't they do it in a NL game? At one point Ted wanted to make a pot size raise, but the TD would not allow it, requiring him to state a raise amount.
