Nicely done. Much better than my local dealers.

If you worked for me as a dealer, I'd be very happy.

I'd rather have dealers that can handle this type of situation well and efficiently than need floorpeople to intervene. It helps keep the dealer in control of the game which helps the game run more smoothly.

The floor needs to be called in this spot.

No way should the floor be called here. The floor is there for emergencies and disputes in which the dealer can no longer handle. The dealer in this situation handled it just fine. if there was futher escalation, like if the player continued to be a dick, a good floor would just echo the dealers words. The dealer runs the show at the poker table, not the floor, not the players.

This can be true in small limit games with inexpereinced players. Once you get above the smallest games the dealer often knows the least about the rules and procedures.

In this case the player had been drinking; casinos have specific policies on how to deal with guests that have been drinking. Dealers typically are not trained in these procedures.

Anytime there is an irregularity at the table the floor is to be called. THe dealer in the box has no knowledge if there have been previous incidents involving this player.

In this situation, it happens to be that I am trained in how to handle guests that are drinking. I am certified in alcohol awareness. Also, when I was a supervisor in the pit, I had training there as well.

This player was not "drunk", just had a few drinks, which will impair anyones judgement. If it escalated, yes, the floor would have been called. I will not call the floor every time I have to explain betting and folding, or enforce the no swearing rule.

This is unusual that a dealer has the alcohol awareness training. Enforcing no swearing of course is fine. I am pretty sure you have a good grasp of when to call the floor; I have also seen many situations get out of hand because the floor was not called right away.

Well, thankfully I can rely on my experience in this business. 8+ years makes it really easy to adapt, learn, and deal with pretty much anything I've seen come up.

Pretty standard in theory, too bad there arent more good dealers like yourself

lol I thought I made it clear from my OP that I was the dealer when I was explaining the rules and counting out the chips.
