in FRONT of my 3 chips which is idiotic to begin with for obvious reasons when somebody is sitting in that seat.

You know sometimes the cards don't go exactly where we would like them to go, and since i try not to loft cards up where they might flash or get flipped over, sometimes the the cards dealt to the blinds hit the chips and stay in front. its not idiotic, its just that we aren't perfect. Obviously you aren't either.

to the right or left is fine. when sitting in 5 or 6 seat, right in front of chips is just bad dealing.

TT his the nail on the head... whenever I see unprotected cards get accidentally mucked the dealer always acts very apologetic in explaining the impetus is on the player to protect their cards.

the dealer shouldn't have made the error in the first place, Sublime was in the big blind - that is kind of ridiculous.

I agree. My post was referring to the dealer compounding the problem.

Sorry, but if a player has to cap his cards or pull them back when they are in the bb and obviously not intending to fold (especially before its his turn to act) then there is either something wrong with the dealer or the rule itself. That rule is mainly in place to protect the 1 and 9 seats where it is much harder to tell that a hand has been mucked. Having to protect your hand from idiotic dealers shouldnt be an issue in any respectable room, which is why the Wynn paid him back his money.

MitchL - I'll bet you the dealer did not get sanctioned either.

The point of my posts is to illustrate the fact that players, in the end, need to protect their own hand. Notice the original post, the player never says he looked away and shouldn't have, Player never says he should have waited for two cards, then capped them, then went to the bag.

I can assure you I have player more poker that the OP, and I have never, ever had my hand killed in this fashion. It is Poker 101 to protect your own hand.

Without that admission, the post, to me, is a whining joke.

Besides - if player in seat 6 mucked his cards next to the cards in seat 5, and the dealer in advertantly killed them both, it would be a dealer error for sure, but not so eggregious. Simple, PROTECT YOUR HAND AT ALL COSTS.

Oh. I thought the point was to illustrate the fact that you are a nitty *****.
