Re: How annoying are \"assistant dealers\"?
[ QUOTE ]
- Call hands at showdown, especially in Omaha
- Remind people to put their blinds or antes out
- Push in other people's bets if the dealer is having a hard time reaching (I try to show my hands to prove I'm not stealing from the pot)
- Tell people its their action if it looks like they didn't notice, although I imagine sometimes they're just thinking.
- Feed $1 chips into the pot so the dealer doesn't have to make change to take the rake.

The first four are definitely helpful. The last one I try to stay away from personally doing, because it can often cause confusion.
As for how annoying it is, I think sometimes it can get on people's nerves, but I'm sure most people here would agree that the occasional action from the the dealers assistant speeds things up and is good for the game in the long run.
