My friend that played near Phoenix, said everytime there was a dealer change (each 30 min) that every player at the table had to post. Quite odd.

It sounds like they were doing time pots instead of rake...

(I'm a dealer)

7 Stud: "Antes please" every freaking hand. I ask for antes while I'm shuffling and I have to ask AT LEAST twice almost every single hand. Soooo annoying.

All other games in no particular order:
Players placing bets one millimeter in front of their stack so I have to stretch for it, even though I repeatedly ask them to "Please place your chips out a little further...thanks."

Players asking for a set up every 10 minutes.

Players bitching at ME because I brought the "wrong card". Hey, I bring the next card in the deck every time....sorry if it wasn't what you want.

Players throwing cards/chips at me.

When a player asks, "Who raised it?". Well, the guy with more chips in front of him than anyone else in the hand.

"You're the big/small blind". Then player asks me "What is it to me?" Holy sh*t...you really don't what the blinds are at the game you've been playing? LMAO.

wow...interesting responses...wheres the ethical answers boys n girls?

Here what irks me dealin:

Players berating other players or whining about the bad beat in the same terms of how bad the player is.

Any form of shlt disturbance that certain players like or tend to create when they are losing. Puts a real bad "thickness" in the air that is not good for the game.

Oh and dont call me a mudda fukka. We could have serious problems. And some players are stupid enough to do this in the 1 or 10 seat. The elbow is the hardest bone in the body. Not a good idea when the dealer has position on you.

General things that are just aggravating:

2,3, 7,8 seats lose a hand and realease the cards not 1/2 inch from their stacks on the largest table in the room and give the "dealer stare down". I sit back and wait till the get thrown within reach. Play the baby crap with someone else.

Acting out of turn, and most often what I mean is mucking before the player in front of you has completed his bet (or announced it) thus allowing him to raise after he sees 1-4 people beyond him have alredy mucked. Please players...offer protection to the other players in the hand. It used to be floor people understood this and would support me in this...not so much so anymore.

Any and all "shot takers". Especially the ones thatare trying to steal the pot on a nit technicallity. Such as a player shows the winner and then turns it over and thows it forward(face down). A shot taker tries to steal the pot suggesting the hand was mucked. "Cards speak" rule applies, or should, and it's usually a new player that turns his hand over like this. Dont run out the live ones or new players.

I'm sure I can come up with more but I must go to work now!


Basically ethical situations are what gets me the most. I wish everyone learned from Tommy Angelo and others like him on conduct at the card room.

So far, I as a player am disturbed by these things too.

These thoughts come and go during a typical table: {sarcasm is our friend]

HOLD THE GAME UP MORE PLEASE! MISTER 'I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MUCH I CAN BET' after 4 hours of play!

I'm sorry sir the dealer is 5' tall not Magic Johnson.

By all means raise on the button every time you have it, so we have to have another long pause in the game.

Yes, definitely go to the can on your BB.

Please do leave your plate of half eaten smelly food on the tray table next to us.

Curse when you win or lose, we like that!

Please hide your cards so no one knows you are still in.

-Bri

I'm fairly new to stud, but I thought I'd read somewhere that after a couple of reminders (not a couple PER HAND!) that the dealer is entirely within her rights to deal an unanted player out. But I guess that's not good for tips....

wasting 15 seconds or so between hands every time isn't good for tips either.
