I'm curious which rooms one is allowed to forbid the dealer from spreading the pot. In the MidAtlantic, the idea that this couldn't be allowed has never come up.

Note: Not saying it's not true. Just wondering how widespread this is.

Any supervisor that understands poker should require that the dealers not touch the pot. If you find a room where the dealers are allowed to spread the pot I would be very careful as this makes it easier for the dealer to steal money and most likely that the floor is not familiar with basic procedures to protect the game.
