to short to reach around the table.

Whilst playing at the 1/2 NL tables at the Imperial Palace this weekend (I know, that was my first mistake) - I can't tell you how many dealers there, couldn't reach around the table to grab cards and chips.

It was driving me crazy - sorry, but I'm playing poker here, trying to relax with my Scotch and enjoy my weekend away. 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. They need to be tipping me.

Does this bug anyone else???

If I am on the floor just call me over. I will show you the mark and put some tape on the table so you dont' forget where to put your card. It isn't that hard, jsut put your chips and cards where the dealer can reach them.

Not to mention the OP needs a KITN for letting this type of thing bother him at a poker table. OP, if the dealer asking for the above bugs you that much, it's time to take a look inside and find out why you're so PO'd over something so trivial.

I'm pretty good about pitching my cards into the muck (even from clear across the table) and placing my bets neatly within the dealers reach, but doesn't it seem odd that poker rooms would hire dealers with really short arms?

Shouldn't an adequate reach be a prerequisite to becoming a poker dealer. Assuming that pokeroom managers have a huge applicant pool to choose from, wouldn't "short-armers" be one of the first cuts?

I really don't care as long as they run the game well, but it just mkes you think. Of course, if it's a cute little Asian dealer, I have no quams.

I am sure you have a doctor's slip explaining why you have zero strength to expend while playing poker.

Hey, give the OP a break. Those chips can be pretty heavy!

yep, thats exactly it. My toss over the bet line was 1mm

How about hiring someone who can do the job? Or perhaps the BLackjack dealers shouldn't be able to reach your bet as well???

The only thing arrogant here is your reply.

Your right of course - I guess I'm the nit.

We have one dealer at the bike who uses a kind of back scratcher to rake the chips in. She has a lot of trouble with seats 3 and 7.

Yes - I've seen several at Commerce do that as well

In retrospect, the tables were bigger than what I usually play on. It really just slowed down the game, and it seemed like they were continually asking the corner players to throw their chips/cards in further. Perhaps I'm being nitty, but I can't blame the players, since they were throwing it over the line.

Oh well, it's in the past now. no biggie.

There used to be several dealers at CAZ who used back scratchers to gather chips...Those things were banned after a guy got wacked in the knuckles with it.
