I was at a table during the day at the nearest casino when the tables are filled with lonely old people just looking for some chatter and entertainment. The dealer was a young decent looking lady. One of the retirees says to her, "You remind me of so and so actress who played that prostitute in that movie."The old guy was seriously trying to compliment her, but he donked it big time. The dealer replied, "So you are saying I look like a hooker?"The whole table laughed, but I felt bad for the old guy.

He says, 'it's Omaha, you have more cards!'he didn't win the game!

I thought this was funny, not sad:Guy playing with his cards behind his chips, his hands folded in front of everything, dealers says, "put your cards up front, Slick, this is Hold'em, not Hidem.

Yeah I know! lol. do you now feel like a big man for pointing it out?Not that it matters but I lost 200 chips out of a 3300 stack playing an A 9 2 3 double suited. I can actually play omaha.

...exclusive online players not knowing simple rules are one of the reasons dealers are having a hard time at the live tables.

people who play exclusively online aren't responsible for dealers telling players they play like crap, lecturing players on how to play or dealers pushing pots to the wrong people.That's what I was refering to

At the Borgata playing 3/6, I'm in MP3. The older gentleman in the big blind has a huge tell, in that he holds his cards in his hand and waits to fold when he's not going to play. Despite the fact that he's the BB here, he has his cards in hand ready to muck before the UTG player even throws his hand in.I look down at QQ, and it's folded to me. I toss six $1 chips in front of me without saying a word. Not paying attention, the Button and SB both put $3 in front of them quickly, and the BB starts to put his cards down and check. I speak up and mention that I raised, indicating the six chips in front of me, and the dealer says he didn't hear me say it, so it doesn't stand. I probably should have asked for the floor, but I tend to be too easy going, so I let it slide.The flop comes 3 4 6 rainbow, it's checked to me, I bet out, and everyone fold to the BB who quickly calls. Check check on the turn, he bets the river and I muck as he flips over his 52o for the flopped straight.That's fine, until the dealer looks at me, laughs and says, "See, I saved you some money."

how excatly did you raise?you put in the amount of the blind and never said raise

at 3/6 the blinds are 1/3 or 2/3, not 3/6

I was playing 4/8 and had just taken a bad beat, so I raised the next and and said, "I dare anybody to raise me." Well, there was some old SOB playing very loud and obnoxious and he said, "Well, I was just gonna call you, but since you said that I'm gonna call you and raise you." He made a verbal string bet. So the dealer told him he couldn't raise. Well, he pitched a fit about it and wanted to call the floor to explain it to him. Well, apparently the actual floorman was taking a smoke break and a different dealer was taking his place, so the interim floorman/dealer said to the dealer at my table that it was okay. I argued with the guy, but he wasn't having any of it. The dealer at my table sat openmouthed, because he couldn't believe it either, he just looked at me and shrugged. Later, the real floorman came in and heard the situation. I don't know what happened to the idiot dealer but I haven't seen him there since.

Limit Hold-em. 3/6 are the betting limits. Blinds are $1 and $3.

If I win a pot on the river, without a showdown, and show one person my cards, do i have to show everyone?What exactly is the "show one, show all" rule applicable to?Some digusting old guy bitched about that to the dealer, and they called the floor over, who ruled that i had to show. Killed my tight agg image, and I called him a whiner. I'm not normally emotional or abusive, but I was so mad.Was I wrong in this?

Home game and a new guy comes in telling us how he wins about 1 out of every 4 tournaments he plays at the Bike etc. WE have a rule the first player out deals the rest of the night and gets his buy in back in our $20 freeze outsHe's first out of course and starts dealing.Since we all know each other we don't burn a card...no need just confues the older guys anyway.So he starts buring cards and we tell him we don't do that since we don't need to worry about anyone reading a marked deck.He tells us the reason you burn cards is to get deeper into the deck, which makes the cards more random.I won and tipped him half his buy in

Yes, you do. You're giving someone at the table information that the rest of the table doesn't have. That's what the rule is all about.

That might be the rule, but I disagree with it. Plus it's not forced very well at the casino I go to. I made trip threes when i saw a flop with 8-3s in the big blind. Me and the player to my left got into a raising war(playing 1/2 No limit) Finally after the river I raised him 100 in close to 200 pot and he mucked. He was a nice guy, so i showed him my three. Nobody said anything about it, but I'm not sure anyone saw me do it, either.

Well, you can always not show to that one person. No one is forcing you to show anyone. But for the sake of the game and to be fair to all players (not just your favorites), the rule is "show one, show all". If they don't enforce it veryh well at the casino you go to, then the dealers are the types of donks we're talking about in this thread.

double suited...regardless that hand is pretty much trash unless you can limp for cheap in late, and the only thing youre looking for is the A high flush or a miracle provided this is Omaha High PL, not high low. The other suited cards are most likely going to be beaten by a higher flush. and the a23 straight possibilities usually make feeble ignorant straights that cant widthstand much action.

Yes, standard.

This isn't really one of those a dealer saying something stupid about poker ones, but I had this happen when I was in a game a lil while back. It was your typical middle limit live game filled with donks.I'm in a hand on the button with QT of spades, like 6 people limp in and I raise on the puck. I flopped an open ended straight draw and bet the flop, entire table calls. Now on the turn, I hit my nut straight and it gets checked to me again and I reach for chips to bet and the dealer ignores me and assumes I checked or something and goes on to burn and turn the river card and I try to stop him and this guy is like oops, oh well not a big deal and laughs about it. I'm just thinking like wtf is wrong with this idiot, first he screws up and costs me money out of the pot considering everybody knew I was going to bet the turn, so they didn't pay off the river. On top of that, he laughs about it like it's funny. If it was an honest mistake and he apologized, I'd have been cool with it, because it happens sometimes, but laughing about it after just plain retarded.

Have him call the floor over. Its pretty standard for them to remove the river card, place it back it the deck, reshuffle, redo the action on the turn and then re-deal the river. Also, the dealer totally mishandled that situation, let him know it and dont tip him for awhile.

Since we all know each other we don't burn a card...no need just confues the older guys anyway.So he starts buring cards and we tell him we don't do that since we don't need to worry about anyone reading a marked deck.

You probably know this, but I'll mention it. You're right that burning is used to avoid cheating, so if you really trust the people no need.But, the concern is not just a marked deck. The top card is the second easiest card to peek at, behind the bottom card. A good (at cheating) dealer can peak at the top card(s) by passing the deck from one hand to the other and covering the peek with the passing hand.

I believe you, but if you knew the guys at our game you would know why we don't have to worry about this. They can barely shuffle.

A dealer called my girlfriend "sugar briches".And why do dealers always tell the same jokes?

[Scanner313 0]

There is one female dealer at the club I play at that has a really interesting habit when a split pot comes up. She'll divy up the pot, and if the small blind makes it uneven by a dollar she sends even money to each player and says "Extra buck goes to the dealer" and drops it in her till as a tip.We all just laugh whenever she does this because someone once told her that's how it works, and she doesn't know any better. She's cute and innocently doing it, so we all let it go. Funny thing is, her brother deals there part time and he's adopted her thing, but he knows it's not how it works so whenever he says "Extra buck goes to the dealer" he flashes this little wry smile for all of us that know the deal. I get a kick out of watching the older cranks *****, but they won't speak up as they aren't sure of how it should be handled.
