I was playing 4-8 at The Horseshoe Casino Tunica last weekend. I was getting pounded but kept my composure. This older guy (who was a regular) sat down. He played more than the average amount of hands. He'd raise then fold on the flop or turn. A fella was calling his raises with stuff like Q-4 and catching cards and spanking the old guy. After like 3 hands the old guy was basically saying it was the dealers fault. She'd look my way and kind of roll her eyes.

He'd make a few more comments and it was really pissing me off.

A few hands later he raises and I call in position with A-J. There was one other caller. The flop came J-x-x. He bet, the other guy called and I raised. They both then called and the board paired. The old guy bet, the other guy called, and I called. A nothing river and I called the old guys bet.

He had me spanked from the beginning with QQ. I was not mad at all. I've been beat many times before and it wasn't like he drew out on me.

But for probably the first time in years I said something to the fella. I asked him if the dealer was still doing a terrible job. He mumbled something. I asked again if she was still that bad. He then said she was still doing bad because "of a scary board like that". I told him he had 2 guys calling his bets all the way to the river. I told him I didn't know what else he could have asked for. We jabbed a little back and forth. Then he started whispering to the guy next to him that I was just mad because I lost the hand.

I decided to drop it even though I wasn't mad about losing. Heck, I'd lost many many hands during the course of that day and didn't complain about it before. I just don't understand how people can think it's the dealers fault for them not catching cards.

Should I have just shut up and let the guy keep moaning?

Your dealer would probably rather hear the old guy bitch and complain that he never gives him any cards then have to deal with an argument at the table between you two.

I couldn't disagree more. I was a dealer and having people treat me like crap at times sucked. To have someone stick up for me when I couldn't stick up for myself would be welcomed.
