Local room here in Dallas. One of the nicer rooms in Dallas. Game is 2-5, rake is anywhere from $3 to $10(if the pot is > $1000). The point is that the rake is not outrageous, but it's still high imo. They bring in good food, and have a loaded snack bar, it's a really nice place, so I think it's worth the extra juice.
Situation: New dealer in the box, we're 7 or 8 handed, and I've never seen this dealer before. All the regular dealers are out of town at the moment, apparently. She doesn't seem familiar with shuffle, riffle, shuffle, shuffle, cut. When she pitches cards, a trained eye could spot them, although it would be obvious they were trying to spot them, i.e., they fly up just a hair flashing a color. In two orbits the following happens; She pitches a card to player x, and it flys up in the air. She then pitches a card to me in the same deal, a jack. Then she pitches my last card to me, another jack, and it flys face up. She apologizes, I nod, and then fold my J-3o. Next orbit, she throws me a queen, then she throws me another queen, face up again. Out of frustration I muck my Q-2 face up. At this point it's clear to several players she's never dealt before, myself included. Flashing bottoms of the cards, not shuffling correctly, and misdealing 3 cards face up within two orbits. Even more frurstrating is that several of us are 300 BB's deep, and now playing with an inexperienced dealer. I didn't say anything to her when I mucked my cards. I apologized to the table when I mucked face up, as it was in bad practice and unfair to the rest of the table. I was not having a losing session: the point is that I didn't cause a scene about her obvious lack of experience. I had also tipped her a combined $10 on the four previous hands that I had won. The next round of cards, instead of pitching me a card, she palms it and forcefully slams it down in front of me, and then glares at me. At that point I calmly racked up my chips and cashed out. One of the guys that runs the game started telling her she couldnt do that to the players. I think someone wanted to get close to her, so they gave her a job dealing cards for likely $50+/hr. My question is, how would you have dealt with this situation, and let's suppose you owned/operated the card room and were confronted with this situation, what would your response be? |
