Dealer Mistakes?

[Talking Poker]

I wouldn't have paid him a nickel.

And for the second scenario, I would have told them to check the tapes and demanded an apology from the dealer.

I, too, would not have paid him anything. Generally, once the hand is over then it is just that, over. Nothing can be changed at that point. And although it is the dealer's job to make sure the correct amount of money is in the pot, it is also the responsibility of the player to verify that the dealer has not made an error. Even if a mistake actually was made, the player must bring it to the attention of the dealer before the next hand. If he waits too long to realize the mistake, then I say tough shit. It's just as much his fault as it was the dealer's.

I on the other hand would have done something different...

I would have taken $20 worth of chips, asked them if this was his $20...
Then make this statement. "I am now using your $20 as a cardprotector."
And proudly make a big deal of mentioning what great luck "his" $20 were bringing me.... = Insta-Tilt.

hehe... nice.

I've done similar things, where someone gets cocky with an inferior hand, I take the pot down, and then stack his chips nicely off to the side of the rest of mine, so I can admire them..... and "they will be right here waiting for you" and that sort of thing.

Tilt is good stuff.
