About the only thing I've ever done, which wasn't really a mistake, but a "confession" like the thread says is this:

Hot chick with low cut top sitting in the 8 or 9 seat. I thought back to my pit days of roulette with girls at the end of the table and short pitched a couple cards. Only a few in the entire down so it didn't look obvious [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Flops out, loads of action, I swing around in my chair towards seat one to, my funny bone hits the side of the table and the deck ends up on the floor, turned out ok, I told the floor I was 100% sure which were the top cards and luckily nobody claim ed to have folded the turn or river.

This story bears repeating.

Late one night the tired dealer kept forgetting that our table was playing 5-10 limit. During one hand, the two guys who were heads up forgot it too and one guy shoved in @50$ on the river and was called.

You would think the loser of the hand would have noticed that the game suddenly morphed into 2-5.

In some jurisdictions, heads up players are allowed to increase the stakes or go all in if they both agree. YMMV

I'm not a dealer, but this story fits:

I'm playing a time-charge no limit game and decide to leave as a new, and I do mean new, dealer arrives. Everyone else puts out their time. The dealer looks at the chips, and then drags them all in to the pot. Appearently she thought everyone was paying a six dollar anti.

$25/$25/$50 Pot Limit Omaha.

Men The Master, J C Pearson, Barry Greenstein... full table pf stars.

$50,000 or more in the pot.
Dealer burns and turns the river (he thought) and pitches the stub into the muck.
Then he looks up and sees only four board cards.

Action is going on and no one seems to have noticed.
Dealer grabs a handfull of cards from the muck and prayes nobody recognized the river card as their discard.

I did almost the exact same thing years ago during the WSOP in a cash PLO game. On the flop 1 player got all-in for $600 with 4 callers. I put out the turn card and promptly drop the deck in an unretrieveable manner. Suddenly I see what I did and say "SOB guys...I f*&cked up, FLOOR!". At this point one guy blurts out (and these guys are normally wsop jerks) "dont worry about it man...Hey guys...how bout everyone takes thier $600 back and races for the rest of the pot." To which every single player agreed!!....I shuffle up the muck and put out a river card and get a $5 toke at the end.

Guess they knew it was out of character for me and wanted to give me a break. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It was far more out of character for the PLO players to give you a break, even if that was the only mistake you'd ever made in 400 years of dealing. But then if you dealt the wsop you already knew that.

One of the funniest mistakes ive made (which i realized but no one else did...)
60 game
on the turn action is bet call call
then for whatever reason... i say "Raise"
action continues at 120 call call original bettor call as do the callers
At this point i hear someone not in the hand whisper to the player next to them "Who raised?".
Thats when i realized.... I made the raise.
I didnt say a thing and the player who asked didnt press...

Hell, these games are so loose aggresive it wouldnt have matter anyway.
