the cheating angle is seat 10 not liking the action he gets after he raises and the dealer helping him to get a misdeal.

So how does that compare to the "dealer is in league with the 1 seat and fouls the deck on purpose so the 1 seat gets to steal the 10 seat's $60" angle shot? That seems even easier and even more damaging.

[/ QUOTE ]

it's not easier because everyone is freaking out and the floor is over and it's blindingly obvious that someone just got screwed. try pulling this move off 50 times in a year. it's ridiculously easy to cause a misdeal and no one remembers them.

k, I still don't agree but it at least makes some sense to me now. I still can't get behind the idea of blatantly mugging seat 10 for a "precedent" when there was no questionable behavior on his part and he probably had the best hand, and I know if I were the 10 seat and it were ruled this way I would rack up and leave without giving back any of the pot, or the floor would be making some phone calls or both.

Yeah, obviously you can't punish the 10 seat for acting according to the orders of the dealer. The only question is; do we redeal the hand or do 10/1 seats chop the blinds? Personally, I chop the blinds and thankfully at the Bell, that means the 1 seat gets 3 and the 10 seat gets 2 chips.

The Dude was the 10 seat in said hand, by the way. The 1 seat is a nice local fish who I was sure wasn't trying to angle shoot, so before the floor had decided he and I had agreed to chop the blinds. The floorman said "No, I make the decisions around here," and awarded the pot to the 1 seat. He gave me my raise back and said "I'm sorry, he has cards, you don't."

I asked him at what point I no longer have a responsibility to protect my hand, and he shook his head and walked off. After he left the 1 seat tossed me $25.

Some floors like to make their jobs harder than it needs to be.

What an idiot.

[censored] the Bellagio. Another reason to hate that brown stain skid mark of a poker room.
