Dealer forgot to give change

Playing 1/2 nl live, someone raises to 12 i call by throwing in 15. Dealer deals flop, original raiser bets. action on me, i say "uh preflop raise was to 12 right?" dealer agrees, then i say "you never gave me change..." then dealer says "it's too late." Is this correct? If so, at what point is it not too late to correct the mistake?

it seems silly that it's "too late" because it's a trivial matter to figure out how much is in the pot and how much should actually be in the pot.

Totally ridiculous. He should give you back your change right away.

Call the floor, you should get your change.

If you win the hand this becomes a moot point.

right, i didn't win the hand which is the only reason I ask this now. I didnt want to make a big deal of it bc i didnt really wanna slow down the game.

The next three times you win a hand while this dealer is dealing, let him know that his tip is funding the three bucks he stole from you.

It's obviously not "too late". Call the floor, get your change, and don't tip this dealer for the rest of the down.

How about the next 3,000?

Better yet, after winning the next 30 hands, wait until the next hand is being dealt every time then tell the dealer, "Oh I forgot to tip you, didn't I. Oh well, too late now."

The winner should have gave it back to you. He is just as much of a nit as the dealer.

BTW the dealer is wrong. You can get your change right up to when the pot is pushed. As for not making a big deal about it, grow some balls and stick up for yourself. If you don't make a big deal about it then it will keep happening.

Do Not Tip This Dealer....He will pay for you $3 with compound interest. Seriously, he screws up and you have to pay for it????!!!

Call the floor. The dealer will look like a jackass in front of his supervisor.. He will remember next time....
