Re: To speak or not to speak, that is the question
I think if you see something wrong you definitely should speak up. Sometimes I get chastised for this, but I really think it is everyone's duty to speak up when they see something wrong. For example, a little while ago 3 people saw the flop at a casino I frequent. It was checked to the preflop raiser who elected to go allin. The next player to act started to chat with the other player that was to act after him, on whether he was going to fold or not in a subtle way. The dealer did nothing. He repeated the question in a less subtle way, and I immediately interjected before the other player could answer, and the hand concluded fairly. Had I kept my mouth shut, there was a very good chance that the allin player would have gotten screwed. Dealers make mistakes, as do floor people. If you see a mistake that can be corrected/prevented, you should do so -- maintaining justice should not be only the casino's responsibility.
