the dealer should know the rule and not have dealt the river and he mistake cost someone 600 dollars which doesnt suprise me since I had one good dealer in 3 days.

He didn't make a mistake and a poor decision by the floor cost someone $600. If there are two players left and they want to bet that is their business. The dealer interfering in the player's business would have been a mistake.

Randy is 100% correct, as always. This is a decent-sized game and the players should run the game. At lower limits, this isn't the case, but not here.

I don't understand this at all. What if stripper didnt want to call an all in? The ILLEGAL all in action is to her and now she is forced to point out it is not legal, potentially showing weakness. She could have been in a situation that she didnt want to be in and this is precisely why it is the dealers job to uphold the house rules. Just because in this situation she turned out to be a willing particpant doesnt make it correct for the dealer to ignore the rules.

lol @ players runnning this game
when the stripper rivered a king for a final board of
9944k 3 clubs
the crazy russian got up and did a dance thinking his flush won the pot and the guy with the 9 didnt understand why he lost at first.

that reminds me of the one genius who told me the casino cheats
for example he said the casino puts different sized studs on the back of the cards in BJ so if the dealer needs a 6 for instance they can feel for one.
He also thought the dice were magically fixed in craps. He "proved" this by saying one time he bet on every number hitting but 6 and 6 hit.

I know that TT and JA'a above statements might seem totally absurd to some of you, but this is pretty commonly the case.

Regarding NL200 and smaller donkaments, dealers have to be more take charge and really manage the game. But as games get bigger this becomes less necessary. At some tables, your entire function is pretty much reduced to the more mechanical duties of dealing, and a dealer certainly has no place running the game. It's just the opposite - in fact, a dealer sticking his ir her two cents in as if it was 1/2NL will often be met with some form of "STFU".

When disputes arise that aren't settled between players, the floor is called.

2-5 NL is a game often with larger egos than intellects that needs a dealer that is in charge. This isn't 200/400 HORSE in Bobbys room.

This reminds me of a buddy of mine who wont play roulette at the tables where the sections of table that win light up when the ball finally comes to rest at a certain number..he says that if the table can light up where the winners are then there must be some kind of magnetic force on the table which weighs the chips so the ball knows where not to land roflmao
