Default Re: An incident with a dealer...

What game was this? This looks suspicious, but it is also possible someone brought some white to a game that white doesn't normally play in. He should not be doing this, but it is possible that he held his last tip off to the side to buy white with when they went into the pot (maybe the rack was full). The reason I tell dealers to never do this sort of thing is it appears they are stealing if someone only sees part of the transaction.

It was a 5/5 game, and several players often limp with 5 whites so there are often 10 or more in the pot.

This was one of the shadier dealers, and I don't see the reasoning behind not tipping the red itself as dealers are often thrown reds/greens and they immediately throw it in their box.

Also, if this were the case why wouldn't he immediately make change and throw the whites in his tip box? He waited until someone won the pot, and it was pushed and then quickly put them into his box w/o tapping. He made it almost look as if the whites were the rake as far as placement, and timing.

Don't get me wrong there is a good chance he was stealing something; I was just pointing that there might have been a innocent (but misguided) reason he was doing it.
