Re: \"lets go\" = \"call\"

Well, I'll give the house 1/2 a point for at least getting it right in the end. They lose 1/2 a point for the dealer and floor's stupidity. The guy stands up, announced lets go and tables his hand with a top pair. Is the dealer on crack? Then the floor, who should know better sticks with the dealer. I mean seriously people, is there some kind of "stupid pill" that casino employees take when they are on shift?

Sometimes there is just a communication problem. I remember being called to a table years ago because an excellent dealer who was not a native speaker didn't know that "bump it" meant raise.
There is another thing going on. I don't know who came up with this idea, but there are a lot of people that think the floor is supposed to "back up" the dealer and never overrule something he has said. I think that is rubbish, but I know a lot of people in the industry that put "being right" ahead of "getting it right."
