just tell the floor

[/ QUOTE ]

The ONLY correct answer in this thread. Take a break from the table, walk away, tell the floor. The dealer will be "reeducated" in private after his or her down.

Since it's been 2-3 weeks since this happened, do you think it's too late to mention it to a floorperson or supervisor?

better late than never.

telling the floor will do next to nothing. some matters must be taken into ones own hands. next time they come to deal at your table and you are in the one or ten seat, slide some rusty tacks onto their chair before they sit down.

Now I realize your just trolling. Hi there, I'm a moderator. Continue trolling, and I'll be forced to do the only thing I can to get you to stop trolling.

TT, I think you are confusing "trolling" with "joking".

I'm in favor of the telling the dealer he was out of line, and then not tipping him ever again move.

this is fine because your not sharing your tipping decision with the table. Unfortunatly you often wont teach the dealer that he made a mistake so he doesnt do it again in the future, he will often (not always) only hold a grudge. Remember dealers take pride in their work, they aren't mindless - nobody likes to be told they are wrong, its a natural psychological defense to fight this feeling through denial, thats why its best to let the floor handle the situation.

When a player starts complaining about the way I deal, I playfully warn them, "Look, if you want to keep talking about the way I deal, I'll have to start talking about the way you play."

I'm sure this can be fitted to the OP's situation.

"Those who can, play. Those who can't, deal"

"I've seen how you play and I will treat your criticism accordingly."

***** You are ignoring this dealer ******

DING! This is the right spirit. Don't get nasty, don't threaten his tokes. Make the reply funny, but pointed. Dealers sometimes say things outta line, often out of boredom or fatigue, and if you just give 'em a look or quiet response they'll instantly realize their oops. You may even get an apology.

It's only if such a response to the dealer generates a nasty backlash from the dealer that it seems worthwhile to take a less friendly tone or contemplate speaking to the floor.
