Dealers that are.....

to short to reach around the table.

I played at Circus Circus once and the dealer was a midget. Good thing you weren't in that game; you would have had to use way too much energy. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I expect to get dealers that can actually run a game without constantly asking people to push cards or chips closer so they can reach them.

The dealer is running the game correctly by asking you to push your cards. You are one that is holding up the game by not accomodating a simple request.

I see players just placing bets and cards 2 cms in front of them. No dealer can reach them, let alone some of the smaller girls who deal at the Taj/Borg. If I'm next to these people, I often push their chips in to help the dealer, but serious folks...common courtesy.

Or perhaps the BLackjack dealers shouldn't be able to reach your bet as well???

Apples and Oranges. Blackjack dealers a) stand and b) have a much smaller table. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

And there is a betting circle for your bets to go in

Tossing the cards and chips alittle closer to the dealer makes for a faster pace more hands per 30 mins especially if its time collection game.

I was there last month, if you are talking about Imperial Palace in Vegas. The tables there are freaking huge! The size of a full size bed!!

I don't think anyone, except maybe Yao, could reach the chips at seats 4 and 8.

Of course I agree with the consensus response so far.

As an aside there are players in LA (and I would assume in other areas) who when running bad (or just to be ornery) deliberately place their folded hands just out of reach of the dealer. Sure the dealer can retrieve it but only after getting up from (usually her) chair and painfully reaching (try this two hundred times a day - it's painful).

It's the sort of sneaky passive/aggressive yet abusive behavior which unfortunately flies just under the radar. It's obnoxious and sickening.

These days if I'm sitting next to such a person with a good angle I've learned to continuously push the player's cards within easy reach of the dealer without comment or emotion. Usually this embarrasses the a_hole into doing the right thing after a while.

Maybe the casinos need to start breeding Hold'em table sized people?
And perhaps the waitresses should hold the glass up to people and put the straw in their mouth? I mean they should be tipping me for having to lift the glass myself. And what about me having to WALK from my car...perhaps one of those beds that 4 strong men carry me in?

Isn't this what poor people are for?

...too large-breasted to lean over table to push pots...real significant impediment.
