Player out of line, Dealer asleep at the wheel

Maybe regular is trying to win more money or something. There's a chance that breaking all 1-person-to-hand rules and telling some fish who I'm trying to stack to slow down or stop betting into me would accomplish said goal of leaving the fish with some money for the regular to have a chance to subsequently win

seems a decent theory.
even more reason why the dealer should be reprimanding him and enforcing the rules of the game.

The way the OP described it I'm practically surprised the prick didn't go diving across the table to physically shove the chips back to the drunk.
All that "you better stop betting...he's got you beat" kind of crap is SO horrible.

Way worse imo than the guy who tells everyone that there's a 4-flush on the board or the guy who reacts to every flop that WOULD have given him a monster.

Simply ask the player to please not talk about the cards while the hand is in progress.
