Dealers making comments about bettor

A couple of times in 1/2 NL this has happened and I don't think it's a good idea.

One time someone raised to 15 UTG. The dealer said "he never raises." No one called.

Another time, I value bet a dangerous looking board on the river with a big hand but nowhere near the nuts. The dealer laughed and said "poker face", refering to me. I assume this is because I had a real classic poker face, which I have naturally, and not because I was showing anything. Again no one called.

Horrible of the dealer. What? Is he Vince Van Patton?

Wow, that is horrendous. No tips (and a big complaint to the floor) for you!

right. i might even be dick-enough to say out loud 'no tips for those who comment on a hand in progress'.

probably not...but I would think about it.

dealers very obviously should not do this.

Absolutely unacceptable. Dealer should keep their big mouth shut and not comment on the action, or the bettors and their tendencies. End of story.

That's terrible!! As a dealer myself, I find it absolutely wrong to make any comments about anyone plays...We're just there to make sure the games are run smoothly...

These things happened on different days at the same casino. Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure it was the same guy. Next time, I will talk to the floorman.
