I assume that A did this while the dealer was looking the other way? The dealer should be making an effort to prevent this kind of thing. I'd add him to the KITN list, except he's probably going to get to go sit in the no toke penalty box for several minutes while this gets worked out.

I thought I might show the entire relevant paragraph of my post that you responded to.

What should he do? Drop the deck, get up, abandon his tray of chips, run around the table, and tackle the offending player?

I'll lay 10-to-1 that Player A knew that he shouldn't be doing what he's doing while he's in a hand, yet he did it. It staggers me that someone could think the dealer was even partly culpable in this one.

We got Player B moving all-in. We got a player to B's left also pushing in. Meanwhile, A is sitting to B's right, possibly at the far end of the table, away from the current action. You can't understand how the dealer's attention might be diverted away from Player A for the moment?

Just another example of the impossibly unrealistic expectations that most B&M posters have of dealers.

It's unrealistic to expect the dealer in all situations to prevent A from farking up the hand. It's obviously his job to try to prevent it if he sees it happening.

Do you agree that this is going to be a PITA for all involved that will stop the game for some amount of time, cost the dealer tips, and make the entire situation less enjoyable for everyone involved?
