You did get shafted but I wouldn't have called the floor because there is no way in hell you're getting your cards back. A wave is usually considered a check, so if you wanted the flop checked through you could have pointed that out to the dealer when it happened.

So yea, the ruling sucks but I still wouldn't have complained because it's only going to slow things down.

You have to look beyond just your own self interests. Your hand is mucked. You're not expecting to get it back.

The reason you complain is to aprise the offending player about his checking/betting motion. It makes quite an impression when the floor says it.

The ruling sucks if the dealer allowed you to act accordingly after the bet. The way I've always seen it is after there's action afterward, in this case a fold, then the action stands but the player is warned to watch his mannerisms.

Imo, this one is worth slowing the game for a hand. It makes it less likely to happen in a later hand.
