Sticky deck.

[bravos1]

Last week while playing at IP (more on that later) this clown spilled his drink for the 2nd time in like an hour. This last time though, he drenched half the muck. The dealer called the floorman over to get him a cloth to clean the table with. When he returned, the floorman cleaned the table while the dealer tried his best to clean the cards. About 3 hands later, the deck was real sticky and the dealer was having a heck-of-a-time trying to deal. I thought this was quite bizarre and asked for a deck change. He looked up at me and said "thanks". I took from this that the dealer was not allowed to change the deck when he feels it needs to be so and needs to be told to do so by the floor or asked by a player. Please tell me that this is not so???
