Re: altercation w/ dealer and floor at Bellagio
[ QUOTE ]
I honestly wonder if part of the problem is how little some dealers and floormen understand poker, certainly in comparison to things like blackjack.
In blackjack, skipping a player actually saves the player money.
But in poker, it doesn't work that way. A dealer error costs the player money and typically not the house. If you can expect to make 2 BB/hr (which should be difficult at 4/8 with tip/rake), one hand with $30 in it really may have cost you two hours of play. Crazy.

well, not really. it could have saved him 2 hours of play too. in reality the hand he missed only cost him the expectation of his hand, in this case KJo on the button. it probably cost him some small fraction of a big bet.
