Another question on player preferences.

I don't hate the line so much as the nazi's who treat it like it's magic. I have made obvious checking motions (tapping the table with my knuckles, palm up holding the chips I was shuffling) that barely crossed the line and been forced to bet by overzealous dealers in a tournament.

One dealer even thought it was a game, and smugly told the floor 5 mins later (while she was still dealing my table) that she would probably catch me again before the tournament is over.

I won that tourney and explained to the floor afterwards that I wasn't tipping because of her attitude. No love for dealers who are 'out to get me'.

As long as the line (and the area covered by it) is not large, then it does not bother me.

I was angle shot once because I pushed a stack in and the top part of it fell backwards behind the line. I do not like the line, especially if it is an arms reach away.
