[swope]

20-40 LHE game. i checkraise the turn, verbally announcing "raise" in my usual speaking voice, but the dealer and a player next to her dont hear me because an absolute drunken clown is shouting down the dude to my right in some argument about all time great quarterbacks or some similar trash.

dude next to dealer calls a string bet because he didnt hear me announce my raise, dealer didnt hear me either over baffoons jackassery, so she calls it a string bet.

i just went with the flow, apologized for not speaking up (i try to be obsequious at all times at the table unless i feel someone is angle shooting me or im being truly victimized by a dealer or players incompetence), and the action proceeds.

my question is: could i have (should i have) taken a stand here and brought over the floor?

drunky brewster realized he had f'd up the action pretty severely and apologized, and as it happens it saved me a bet because he had my 2pr beat with a bigger 2pr, so its by no means a sob story or even a beat (i cant see him laying down his 2pr although he was sure i had a set), im just curious how others would have dealt with this...
