Help -- I have NEVER seen this happen before.

I am really surprised how the dealer handled this. I play Seneca Allegany relatively frequently and the dealers there will call the floor with no hesitation.

In fact just yesterday I was there and my raised had been re-raised by an all-in player, but he was short of my total raise (by $5). I couldn’t remember the rule (since I also play limit in our home games) about ½ the bet and opening up the raise. Which was which. The dealer and my friend both confirmed that it does not open the flop and I was cool with that. But, since I asked the question the dealer was required to call the floor even though I said it was not necessary, my mistake. He did and we got on with the game - I apologized to the table for the brief delay - was over in less than a minute.

I am anxious to get back to Niagara as the games there are much better than Allegany imo. In the sense that more action from more players I can beat.

Hope this is an exception - I think it is from the limited experience I have had at Niagara.
