I just think you have to roll with the punches. I assume this hand happened recently, during all the tournament craziness. There are many new dealers and some of them are horrible.

The player shouldn't have to do this, but if you identify a new dealer, prone to mistakes, keep an eye on them. At the first sign of dealer retardedness, just yell at them stop!!! Then explain yr case. That's about all you can do.

And eventually, all dealers, even expert ones, will make mistakes. In the last few weeks alone, I've seen two different occurrences of putting the stub into the muck after the turn.

This ordinary stuff happens all the time. In the end, I don't think this one hand will have a severe impact on yr overall score. Just sorry it cost you a good pot.

I think the end result was the best you could hope for. You got the pot, albeit a much smaller than expected pot. These dealer mistakes really suck since you probably gave yr hand strength away when you had to yell at the sleepy dealer.
