Re: \"I won\'t look at my cards...I\'ll just look at you.\"
[ QUOTE ]
I enjoy stories about 2-4 WPT wannabes as much as the next guy, but a dealer repeatedly telling these stories in a public forum seems really unprofessional to me. [/ QUOTE ] Unprofessional how? We're not talking about a lawyer's clients or a doctor's patients here. No names, no definitive characteristics - how is this bad?

Re: \"I won\'t look at my cards...I\'ll just look at you.\"
It's kind of like a pro athlete who tells the media "All our team's fans are a bunch of low-class idiots. It's hard not to laugh at them when we're out on the field."
I believe there's a certain amount of respect due the people who pay your bills, and it's not right to berate a paying customer in a public forum like this for the sake of a few laughs at 2+2.

Thanks to you, this is the impression I now have of dealers. [/ QUOTE ] Let me start off by saying that you are 100% correct in what you said. However, this is 1 dealer we are talking about here... It's unfair to create anymore posts or anymore replies geared towards dealers... Some fan in Detroit throws a beer at Ron Artest...so automatically all fans are animals? We should talk about "fans" and not "this fan"? I'm not saying you are one of these players, but I know a few that will refuse to tip a dealer in 1 casino just because of a negative incident they remember with another dealer in a different casino, or they remember some other insignificant event...such as reading what a dealer thinks about the players on the 2+2 poker forum! Its a shame you now feel this way about all dealers... I guess now when I receive poor service in a restaurant, I should feel that all servers everywhere are terrible... Next time I'm in a slow line at the grocery store, I should feel that all cashiers are lousy... Hopefully I got my point across...

Re: \"I won\'t look at my cards...I\'ll just look at you.\"
Why do you come on this forum time and again just to ridicule and belittle players you deal to?
I only come to this forum to ridicule the giant douches that I deal to - a very small percentage of players that I deal to. The majority of players are decent people or at least neutral. There are some that are just plain jerks. Then there are the giant douches...those that make complete fools of themselves while thinking they are the coolest person in the room and IMHO deserve public ridicule. Hopefully, WPT wanna-be's will read this thread say to themselves "Hmmm, most folks think that poser was a giant douche. Maybe I'll leave the sweatshirt home this time and not talk so much stupid sheeot at the table. It doesn't seem to have the same effect that it does for the REAL Unabomber on ESPN." Thanks to you, this is the impression I now have of dealers. Wow - I have THAT much of an impression on you? I didn't realize I was that influential in your life. Am I posting these stories as a public service? No. I just figure that other players/dealers like hearing funny stories now and then. I sure do and I wish there were more of them. Lighten up man, and expect more stories in the future. Oh yeah, nice job trying to turn this into another "Here’s why I don’t tip dealers" thread. Like we need another one of those. And FYI, the flagrant poser who was the subject of this little anecdote never won a single pot when I was in the box. I have no clue if he was a good/bad tipper.

"it's 2-4, not the world poker tour."
Feel free to use the line anytime you want. Or you could just kick them in the nuts. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I think I might quote you before going for the nuts on the first offense. On the second offense, however, I go straight for the nuts. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: \"I won\'t look at my cards...I\'ll just look at you.\"
I'm of the opposite point of view. I want you dealers to tell your stories from your point of view. Gives me as a player a different perspective and besides I just like to hear stuff about poker. So keep em coming.

Re: \"I won\'t look at my cards...I\'ll just look at you.\"
People need to lighten up around here. Juanez's stories are funny and I hope that they keep coming. Also, it gives us as players a different perspective and can help us not to piss dealers (and other players) off (it seems like most here don't care about that, but that's the typical poker player for you).
I don't play live alot, so the B&M stories are both informative and, often, hilarious. And all this crap about professionalism is exactly that......crap. It's an anonymous forum for God's sake! Unless you're the Unabomber moron, in which case, you deserve to be publicly mocked for being a douche. If you don't like the thought that you are being mocked even though you don't act like a total jerkoff, then you are simply paranoid. There's a lot more important things to worry about folks. Please keep the stories coming.

Re: \"I won\'t look at my cards...I\'ll just look at you.\"
but for the dealer to go on a website with thousands of viewers who can read not only about the incident but about how the player looked, the limit being played and the cardroom's name and location...
[/ QUOTE ] If someone reads a post in a public forum that is obviously about themself,then maybe they won't be such a tool the next time they go to a cardroom.I love jaunez's posts.
