What do you think is the most difficult thing about switching from online to in-person poker?
From my perspective as a newbie, it is difficult to identify what is happening at the table. Sometimes people go so fast that I don't even know if it's my turn. 😂
The live dealer runs the table.
Nothing happens without their knowing about it - and if they don't know or hear correctly - then it won't happen...lol
Always talk to the dealer. It's not important if the rest of the table hears you - but it is very important that the dealer hears and understands your verbalized actions.
Be clear - enunciate - and don't mumble.
Here is a poker term to find out who's turn it is.....
Ask the dealer, "Where is the action?"
Often the answer is, "It's on you!" - at least when I'm asking...
Sometimes I ask the dealer to just let me know when it's my turn to act.
The dealer is your friend at the table and their job is to move the play along smoothly.
Good luck !
