LOL...yup...calm down, boys n girls...it's a 1-3 game where 70% of the players are having fun. The others are nits or wannabe pros. I can see this being done in a humorous manner with the obvious opportunity to clean it up instantly.

"How much is it to me?" dealers laughs and says "$15?" guy throws out $15...dealer stops and says..."sir..it was only 3 to go...that was a joke" Now you gonna be a nit too? oh you have Aces and you want to make him be forced to keep it out? Which is what happens with local nits. They dont want it to hurt them when it isnt to thier advantage and when it is the want the letter of the law. (chips in pot stay in pot)

Hell I've had players in $25-$50 blinds PLO ask me how much it was to go when they have made every single pot a certain amount 10 times in a row. They say it with a twinkle in their eye...I answer with the "pot it" amount...everyone knows, laughs or smirks and play continues...usually with a "see even the dealer knows how much I'm betting".

NEVER has there been a complaint in spots like this for me.

I can see how you can be all pissy over it. Just be sure you are seeing it in the right context before you get all pissy about it. I may be wrong but I think it sounds like a little light humor to keep the game "fun". And fun games are profitable for all.
