Re: What to do with misdeals?
As far as honesty goes, you should have said something when you first saw the 2 and said that it would make your hand. This would have avoided the anger and screaming. And not only that, but it would have made people like you more, which means that you would be invited to more games. If people think you'll cheat whenever you can, then people trust you less and will want to play with you less. Although it's the dealers fault and you may have won some chips, it makes you look a certain way.
At my homes games, if the dealer misdeals, we re-shuffle and start the hand over again. No point in giving anyone a reason to get upset. Losing money makes poker emotional enough, so it's better to keep the games enjoyable and honest.
