a) Throwing the cards way too high, so that anyone of a mind to sit low in his seat could see others' hole cards as they were dealt


[/ QUOTE ]

Did you ask the dealer to pitch the cards lower? It's okay to request that, just say "Excuse me, dealer, would you pitch the cards a little lower? I'm getting glimpses occasionally". Or ask the floor to mention it to the dealer.

b) Inability to read the board and accurately determine the winning hand without help from the experienced players at the table


[/ QUOTE ]

This was an ongoing problem? You would have seen a number of different dealers in 10 hours, how many had this problem?

[ QUOTE ]
c) Sloppy dealing- flipping cards over and exposing them


[/ QUOTE ]

Again, was this prevalent or was it one or two inexperienced dealers? If the latter, then chalk it up to inexperience and expect them to get better.

[ QUOTE ]
d) Inability to tell me the amount of money in the pot.

You should know this without asking. When you ask, you are giving the information you receive to everyone else at the table as well. Don't ask.

A very large man who sat down late in the evening or early morning was fond of exposing his hole cards in the middle of a betting round. Once, he did it in a 3-handed pot after one of his opponents called, but the other had not yet acted. Worse yet, there was a floorperson standing right there watching it happen, AND NOT ONE WORD WAS SAID! In my opinion, this floorperson is incompetent.

How often did he expose in multiway pots? You mention one time. Yeah, that's a problem, but one time really isn't worth getting upset about. If he did it a lot headsup, then you have nothing to complain about.
