3.) There was a huge argument regarding a side pot. This is 2-4 limit. On turn, in three way pot, one player is all-in. Side pot gets created. Dealer puts main pot in front of all-in player and side pot in middle of table. One man in hand objects saying it goes the other way. Huge fuss, floor comes over and rules in dealer's favor, saying thats how Caesars does it. Argument ensues. Bitchy man complains, then all-in player (who loses) starts in. Bitchy man says he will call casino regulators and complain. Is this not how the pots go? And why would the regulators care?

The main pot is placed in front of the all-in player to signify the individual that does not have a right to the pot. It is used to help the dealers keep track of who has a right to which pot. It can become confusing if 3+ people are all-in on a hand with multiple side pots created.

I don't know why any player would care or want to get a rulign on pot placement, but this is a horrible procedure. The main pot shoudl already be in roughly the center fo teh table (the flop in the center to it needs to be somepalce else). TO know move it to some other location on the table would not be a good procedure. Also the burn cards are protected by the main pot so to move this pot is risking exposing the burns. If a dealer has trouble keepign track of side pots he should be removed from the gaming floor and receive additional training until he is able to keep track of side pots.
