Re: timing is everything (interesting ruling, too)
[ QUOTE ]
It's not just the dealers at The Orleans that fail to control the game as they should. It's pretty rare for a dealer to tell an incoming player that he has too many chips. Or to catch a player taking 'em off the table later. [/ QUOTE ] I tell them when they buy if they are over the max all the time. I tell them to put the excess in the pocket or get a chip runner to color up for them and have them rathole such amount. Simple part of the job, no big deal. I also pass word on to the next dealer such as "4 black under seat 5's redbirds" so they are aware and those chips that ARE in play dont get ratholed out of action. Again, simple part of the job. And during the first few hands of a down I take notice of any odd colored chips so I know where they are and they stay in play. Again, simple part of the job. I fully expect every dealer to do the same. Not that they do. But I take notice if they dont.

You should have asked him if he wanted to buy in again for 1200 and give him another chance to double you up.

Everyone else naturally folds. I look at the dealer to see if he's going to say anything, but he's avoiding my eyes. Cool. I ask the idiot how much he's got and says, "More than you, Chump." I nod, agreeing, and call. [/ QUOTE ] You are the one that messed up! Tell him to push the chips and have the dealer count it. ONCE THAT HAPPENS there are no questions as to how much he has IN the pot. I think you missed a chance to double up. Ask for as parting shots, what do you think about.... Come back when you can't stay so long. Buh Bye Thanks for the poker lesson. Need a loan? Everyone else rivers me. I'll save your seat. Finally I won a hand. I hope you have a twin brother.

Wow, crazy story. As for parting shots, I like:
"You suck at life."

Re: timing is everything (interesting ruling, too)
Ahhhh, karma is an ass kicker, eh? Fantastic read...thank you for making my night [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
The classy thing was to not say anything at all... But I couldn't have kept my mouth shut, so, "Now go home and get your [censored]' shinebox!" Would have been my choice. nh
