The card room calls the next person on the list when a seat becomes available. Others will just have someone who writes initials or names on a sheet of paper. Some have a white board with the games and limits available along with the waiting players' initials. Many times, especially at the lower- limit tables, other players are also helpful.Īlso, most poker rooms have a place to sign a waiting list for a particular game.
You may be amazed at how helpful and useful someone can be when you show them a little respect and ask for their help. If you are sitting down at a poker game in a casino or card room for the first time, tell the dealer that it is your first time and ask them to please keep an eye on you to make sure you aren't doing anything incorrectly.
