A lot of us who read 2+2 tend to be extra careful but my concern is that poorly written or bad rules combined with staff inexperience/lack of sense is going to create more and more ugly situations

Another serious problem to add to this is staff I DON'T GIVE A DAMN attitude about outcomes of situations.

For instance, if I made a terrible decision, it would bother me, and I'd want to do a better job next time. But I am probably more the exception than the rule. Many floors just don't really care, their word is final anyway, and they have no real passion for what they are doing.

Since the floor usually makes considerably less than the dealers, and have to put up with a lot more flak, they are often drafted as dual-rates. Even if they are full-time floor, they may not necessarily be highly experienced or even knowledgeable. There's nothing that FORCES a floorperson to KNOW the rules, especially if the casino is desperate to fill the position. Often times it's "take what we can get" when it comes to filling those positions. The person doing the hiring may not know any better either, often times they aren't poker people.

Because of this, don't expect the floor to make the correct calls, make sure YOU make the correct decisions when it comes to things like protecting your hand/action! I have certainly seen some real lu-lu decisions before. We could probably start a whole new thread on decision horror stories, but let's NOT.
