Default Re: Sticking up for the dealer. Was I out of line?

Last time I had one of these nits...

Nit: This dealer sucks, she couldn't hit me with a baseball bat.

Me: You mean to tell me these games are rigged and that the dealer controls who gets what cards?!?!?! Who the hell to I need to tip to get good cards?!?!

Me: Tossed the abused dealer a red bird... Royal flush please or do I need to tip more for one of those? Here's another just to make sure (while tossing another red bird).

Nit: mumbles to himself...

Next hand I get A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the button with the nit in the BB and folds to me I look at my cards and say "Damn that was quick, I raise". SB folds, old nit RR AI, I call. Board is AAKJT rainbow, nit has QJo and I say, "Damn I guess I did not tip enough before the hand, it was only a FH and not the royal. Oh well live and learn".

Old nit goes on tilt and drops three buy-ins to the table in about 30mins, but he stops bitching at the dealers. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I guess my only thought here is was the old guy really berating the dealer at all.

He's a regular, maybe he knows the all the dealers and 'blaming' them when he doesn't get cards is part of his banter is to talk this way.

Good point.... But it was very obvious that the dealer was pissed at him. She mentioned he was a jerk and always treated others that way.

I was playing 4-8 at The Horseshoe Casino Tunica last weekend. I was getting pounded but kept my composure. This older guy (who was a regular) sat down. He played more than the average amount of hands. He'd raise then fold on the flop or turn. A fella was calling his raises with stuff like Q-4 and catching cards and spanking the old guy. After like 3 hands the old guy was basically saying it was the dealers fault. She'd look my way and kind of roll her eyes.

He'd make a few more comments and it was really pissing me off.

A few hands later he raises and I call in position with A-J. There was one other caller. The flop came J-x-x. He bet, the other guy called and I raised. They both then called and the board paired. The old guy bet, the other guy called, and I called. A nothing river and I called the old guys bet.

He had me spanked from the beginning with QQ. I was not mad at all. I've been beat many times before and it wasn't like he drew out on me.

But for probably the first time in years I said something to the fella. I asked him if the dealer was still doing a terrible job. He mumbled something. I asked again if she was still that bad. He then said she was still doing bad because "of a scary board like that". I told him he had 2 guys calling his bets all the way to the river. I told him I didn't know what else he could have asked for. We jabbed a little back and forth. Then he started whispering to the guy next to him that I was just mad because I lost the hand.

I decided to drop it even though I wasn't mad about losing. Heck, I'd lost many many hands during the course of that day and didn't complain about it before. I just don't understand how people can think it's the dealers fault for them not catching cards.

Should I have just shut up and let the guy keep moaning?

Your dealer would probably rather hear the old guy bitch and complain that he never gives him any cards then have to deal with an argument at the table between you two.

[/ QUOTE ]

I couldn't disagree more. I was a dealer and having people treat me like crap at times sucked. To have someone stick up for me when I couldn't stick up for myself would be welcomed.

It happens with regulars too, there is this one guy who always plays 9-18 at commerce, Gode-awful player, don't know where he gets his money but that's besides the point, anyway he is the rudest a-hole I have ever seen towards the dealers, on top of that he spends more time in the bar than at the table leaveing a hole in his seat, but he always gives the floormen 10 or 20 st they let him get away with it, but heck, it could be worse, at least we usually get all of his chips + by the end of the nite [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
