Re: the problem started with the dealer
Al - I am trying to understand this.
Player A asks Player B what he is playing behind, he says 5 $100 bills.
Player A goes all in based on that representation, player B calls.
If PLayer B wins the hand, are you telling me player A would have to pay 6 $100 bills when the player B declared 5?????
I think you know that is not true, and any floor would rule that if player B said 5 bills, A would owe 5 bills.
The converse has got to be true as well.
If you accept another player's representation of his stack, and it is verbal, it will always stand.
Secondly, are you telling me the dealer is supposed to interject, reach into the stack of another player and count bills and chips????
No way, no dealer procedure I have ever read or writted would prescribe that. Dealer only counts down stacks AT THE REQUEST OF THE PLAYER, NOT ON HIS/HER OWN.
If you ever reachHed into my stack with out my permission, you definitely wouldn't like it.
Cash is only an angle shot if the player allows it to be an angle shot.
When I play 5/10 NL, and I have face a big bet, I ask THE PLAYER, NOT THE DEALER, TO RUN DOWN TO FUNDS TO VERIFY THEM.
Could you imagine what Sam Farha or Mike Matusow would do if one of those dealers on the TV show reached over and started breaking bricks and counting down bills?????
Get real.
