I dont't say anything in a limit game, until the persons tries to get all in.

Happened to me one time. Ex pro football players wins about $12,000 in a 60-120 limit game. He starts having his brother cash out chips for him. I dont say anything because I don't want the guy leaving the game. And he still has plenty of chips on the table. He has about $3000 in chips on the table and manages to piss back about $2700.

He has $300 on the table and raises. I 3 bet with jacks. He calls. He bets the flop and I stop the game and tell the dealer to the call the floor. Guy knows he is caught and pulls out $500. I tell the dealer to cancel calling the floor. He calls me down and leaves the game.

The guy comes in quite often and donks off a few thousand each trip. I try not to piss off people who pay my bills.

So you wait until you are in a hand and then try to get money that isn't on the table in play when you have the best hand but are happy to let him get all-in if you don't want to get the money in?

No. I wait until the guy tries to go all in and then make an issue out of it. My hand doesn't matter.

Either way the decision should be the same : "He started the hand with this many chips on the table, that is what will play." The time to object to an irregularity is when it occurs, not at some future point. Even if your hand doesn't matter you are shooting an angle by not saying anything at the time (because it is to your advantage to not upset the player), but bringing it up in the future.

Im also a baseball umpire. I would use the same point of view as I do with an appeal on a play. If it isnt brought up at the time it happens, (eg. before the next hand) then you have lost all rights to said appeal.

It should be brought to the dealer, if not the floorman's, attention as soon as it happens so it can be rectified.
