What's the Count?

Floor decisions always provide an extra bit of excitement to the poker action -- and generally spark a great deal of discussion from players.

Here at Mohegan Sun (according to a floor summoned to a table after a hand), the house rule is that a player involved in a hand is entitled to an exact count of his opponent's chips if he requests it. This prompted some debate as to how the count is to be delivered: whether the dealer is required to count down the stack, whether the player is required to count down the stack, or some other method.

One player argued that he should not be required to do anything than show all of his chips to his opponent so that his opponent could eyeball them for himself. His theory was that counting chips is a skill required for live poker.

Most other players at the table disagreed, but the specific issue of how the count was to be delivered (if requested) was never explicitly resolved.

"You could ask every floor in here and get a different answer from each of them," said another player at the table.
