What would you do?
I don't think there's any right or wrong here, but what would people do.
I'm the UTG in seat 7 (9 player game). New Player takes seat 9, dealer asks if he wants to post, New Player says he'll wait the big blind, and gets up (to get some of the free brats being served).
When players in the game have gotten up, this dealer has universally dealt them in one hand (bonus qualification), and no one at the table has a problem with this.
Dealer inadvertantly deals cards to seat 9. Before any action, I quietly point it out to him seat 9 wasn't in the game and he instamucks the cards.
My understanding from Roberts Rules of Poker -- is that this should be a misdeal. If you were me would you:
1. Do nothing -- player isn't there, so his cards will be killed -- no harm/no foul.
2. Tell the dealer, and live with whatever he does (redeal or instamuck).
3. Call the misdeal.
I chose #2.
