Default Re: Dealing with abusive player from the floor/dealer perspective.

bernie,

I don't disagree that what I did violated the stated rules of the cardroom. However, like I said before, I'm not your typical guy that sits around and lets people annoy me and friends of mine, stews on it, and tells people behind their backs. I an open, honest, and just come out with it.

The guy was berating some of the known regulars (fish) there, telling them how bad they are for calling check-raises with a gutshot, overcards, etc. Standard table coach stuff and worse. So, I say "Wow, I didn't know Parker's Casino was offering free poker lessons!" He says something like "Are you talking to me," to which I simply reply "Yes, I am." He goes nuts, complains to the floor, then Dids' story is accurate.

The bottom line is this: I don't care about violating the stated rules of the cardroom when my actions will clearly make everyone happier and the game better.
