The only one I'd add, from personal experience, is at showdown NEVER muck your hand until you've been shown a better one. You'd be amazed how many times someone will assume they're beat on the river cos they got called and then find out their A high/bottom pair (or in some cases K high lol) is good.
I tried to bluff raise someone in a cash pot on the turn.
The river brought the V card (yeah i know. I had to google it also).
I gave up the bluff on the river and checked. Opposition player checked behind and I just instantly mucked as I had like 5 high.
Lo and behold the board actually had the straight on it. The V card (a Jack) had conterfeit his two pair.
I had mucked a split pot.
To be fair, I was tired at about 3am in the morning. But yeah - always a good idea to show your cards. Just in case.
Pushed my stack in on the river (Pot was like £110ish), forgot the £1 chip on top of my cards and tried to throw it in.
If someone asks how much is in your stack you don't have to say anything. You'd have to move your hands away (if you're covering your stack) so they can see it themselves and try to count/guess but you can stay silent.
Dealer cannot count the pot for you. Thats up to you im afraid.
Dealer will announce bet sizes but can only count an opponents stack if they are all in (effectively a bet).
You have to do the majority of the counting yourself
I have seen players in late position lift cards as if to muck, only to re-raise , but most players are on the level, so
go and enjoy !
I remember it well.......
I'm not quite sure which is the dafter - the rule, or the fact that ALWAYS, every chuffing time, everyone jumps up and shouts STRING BET.
In fact no Licensed Casino HAS to, but most insist you do. Usually so they can capture your e-mail details to spam you, that sort of thing.
You coming up Stokey? Be great to see you mate.
Your Chip Stack
One of the replies above reminded me of this, which is very important.
ALL your chips must be clearly visible to the other players at all times.
Specifically, your "big" chips must be at the FRONT or ON TOP of your stack, so that everyone can see them.
You cannot hide the big chips at the back or under your stack.
It's cheating if you "hide" your big chips. I know several "name" players who do it all the time, but I'd hope we don't see that sort of nonsense next week.
Asking the dealer the pot size - this was correctly answered by several respondents.
Note, though, that that rule only applies to No Limit games.
In Pot Limit games (be they Hold Em or Omaha variants) the Dealer IS required to tell you the pot size if you ask.
