Re: Player out of line, Dealer asleep at the wheel
Was at my local casino yesterday and this situation came up (though in a Limit game), the dealer simply said "No discussion on the hands in play folks", and when the player tried to protest she followed up with "Sir, if you insist on breaking the rules, I will call the floor over" He shut up after that.
Thinking of this post, I thanked the dealer even though I had already folded because I knew that this scenerio may happen to me in the future and I wanted the dealer to know that I supported her.
In this case, I would have waited til the hand was over, excused myself and talked to the floor privately. There's no reason to humiliate the dealer in front of everyone, but to not control the table in this situation is unacceptable. If the floor didn't take my request seriously, I would ask to speak to a shift supervisor.
