Alley, I want to emphasize I'm on your side. I'm only trying to explain the gaming rules as applied by the casinos I visit. I think if you and your deaf friends were at the table first, then the house would recognize your language as having preference and would forbid talking, because you couldn't hear if the hearies were cheating or breaking rules. In that scenario, they'd for sure encourage a chick like you decorate the room and encourage more players.

But the signals/signs/device rule applies to anyone even near the poker pit. I realize you aren't cheating, just kabitzing with your buds, but theoretically someone could use ASL to assist a player, so they forbid it unless the table and room are full of deafies.
Anyway, I was just sayin' I work the hearies' system against them and have an edge with my ability to speech-read. Sorry, that's just empathy instead of sympathy.
