Re: correcting dealer when not in hand, etiquette question
[ QUOTE ]
Obviously I would correct it when I am in the hand. Just doesn't seem fair when the dealers misses a straight(and the person playing also). [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, cards speak. Say it proudly..."He has a straight. Nice one." If the dealer missed it he/she will be embarrassed and might (hopefully) be more observant when you are involved in a showdown.

The losers that were the original winners were not very happy both times. [/ QUOTE ] Tell them that you weren't the first to mention it--the cards SPEAK. You were just repeating what the cards said.

[ QUOTE ]
If the actual winner of the hand is worth more money to me I'd be more inclined to correct the dealer than if I were going to help the chips go to someone I could make less from. [/ QUOTE ] Evan, If this is a serious reply then I am disappointed in you.

Re: correcting dealer when not in hand, etiquette question
As far as I see it, it is a players ethical obligation to point out an error such as that.

I don't think I'd be doing anything wrong to leave a situation that I had nothing to do with alone.

[/ QUOTE ] I think by correcting the dealer, you minimize the chance of it happening again. On hand 1, the dealer makes a mistake on a hand you're not in. You don't correct it. Then, on hand 2, dealer makes the same mistake again. Except you should have won the pot. Now there is a big argument about who gets the pot. If you corrected the dealer in hand 1, (hopefully) the mistake in hand 2 doesn't happen. BTW, last time I was in Vegas, I only saw two mistakes by the dealer. First was very minor. He said the winner had 2 pair Jacks and threes. Actually, the winner had Jacks and fives because the board paired. Not a big deal because the loser had nothing. The second mistake was more serious. He thought someone had a straight flush and even called the floor man over to get the straight flush prize. Turned out that the guy only had a straight and the other person in the pot had a flush.
