how close to you watch the dealer count the chips when you play?

The dealer is in the wrong here. That floor ruling sucks. I would file whatever complaint is necessary. harrahs sucks

also, as a side note, by some weird coincedence, the guy right next to me said he had run the wsop at binions for years. he warned me that the floor would rule against me but said that i should request a ruling anyways. he also suggested i should ask for another ruling from someone higher but again said it wouldn't change anything. unfortunately, he was right on both counts. the only thing that prevented me from complete tilt was that the guy went all-in on some crazy hand only 5 hands later and was eliminated. maybe his conscience was getting to him. he had to know he shorted the pot by 1,100 chips. i refuse to believe that he didn't know.
