Default What do i say to this fish?

There is one fish in my live game, he is not a giant douche,so he doesn't bother me that much, but he is definetely annoying.

Here is the problem.
Many live players like to straddle.
Sometimes i miss the action and do not know, whether that straddle was blind (i mean, put before cards were dealt) or that someone just minraised, so i ask the dealer.
That fish finds that annoying, cause "i am slowing the game and what is difference if it's blind or not"?

Obviously, he doesn't realise, that i might reaise pot and steal the blinds with any 2, if it's a straddle and a few players just called or might laydown on the pther hand, if someone tight minraised from UTG.It also helps define his hand range for postflop play.
I do not want to educate the fish, but he is getting annoying.
I said to him that i am gonna keep asking that for my own reasons and to leave me alone, but you know the type.He probably won't stop grumbling.

What do you do in my place?

Well, that's obvious, but sometimes the waitress comes, or you just came back from the restroom or buying chips or someone simply asked you something and you didn't pay attention for a momemnt.

Anyway, the choise is either educate him or keep those annoying conversations with him...

Do you like money? If so, I think the answer is pretty obvious.

Obviously this bothers you so if i were him I would keep bothering you until you payed more attention

If you were paying attention you would know if UTG was tight or loose and be able to deduce if it was a straddle or min raise

I would really just pay more attention, also the dealer should be calling out "live straddle" as well so you dont even need to look - if the dealer isnt calling that out, ask the dealer to do so

This actually happens a lot, cause many live players straddle and many live players minraise UTG [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Excellent advise, thank you!
I will ask the dealer to do it and it will solve all this hopefully.
