Re: Foxwoods Dealer venting, scene 2
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] When I'm dealing, and a player at showdown tosses in the cards that way (one face-up, the other face-down), I don't want to muck a hand that was intended to be turned up. I'll hesitate a moment or two, to give the player the chance to retrieve the face-down card. Anyone who thinks that my function is to look for opportunities to immediately muck face-down cards in an attempt to punish, does not understand my job at all (see: Jeffage). [/ QUOTE ] Exactly, I would rather make a mistake that results in the best hand winning, than make mistake that results in the best hand losing. [/ QUOTE ] If I'm not sure if it's a muck I'll hesitate a bit. But if you hesitate too long it's almost encouraging the player to reconsider his muck. Then the dealer is flirting with the "one player to a hand" rule. How about 6 players at showdown. A-high straight on board. One player tables his hand, other players start mucking. Do you stop them from mucking and split the pot 6 ways? [ QUOTE ] The dealer sits there motionless for about 3 seconds. The woman then exclaims "oh goodness I have a straight!" [/ QUOTE ] Sounds to me like she didn't know she had a straight and was mucking. |
