I think that's an example of a GOOD reason to push a dealer in the middle of a hand. It's a very short list.

My first thought was - what difference would it make if you finished the hand first - it's not like you could have done anything about the building.

But, if word ever got back to your wife that you held her up while her home was burning down because you were in the middle of a hand....

Sounds like management is just being anal about pushes staying on sched (say first dealer has to wait a minute, then the next dealer has to wait two.. Lord forbid if they have to wait for an Omaha hand...)

Maybe I am missing something but doesn't it all correct itself at the next push? Except for a guy who is going to punch out and has to stay an extra minute or two - and is the casino really going to care about 1/20 of $5 or whatever they pay dealers per hour - assuming they pay for it?

I don't know, just sounds insane to me if that's the reason. Either way, you know there are going to be some dealers complaining that the toke from a hand that they started is their toke, dang it! -grin-

I was just cringing the logistics for when there's a problem. Floor is called over, "ok, what happened here?" "I don't know, I pushed Joe after he dealt the flop.." .. ???? Seriously, can you just guess the issues? "Where's Joe now?" "Across the room on table 8..." [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Then what? You taking Joe out of another game so that he can come back to the other table to explain what happened? And, possibly again in the middle of a hand??

LOL - I was thinking the exact same thing... On both counts...

I've seen a dealer REALLY ready to vomit after dealing cards. She screamed the name of a floorman who was close by and literally ran to the bathroom. He came over and finished her down.

I don't know exactly what happened to her, but this seems like another acceptable reason to change dealers mid hand. Barfing on your customers is not a good business model...

It should never happen in the normal course of pushes and so forth, but urgent and immediate emergencies are an exception. I've yet to see one.

I watched a Sahara dealer over the course of about 3 hands go from apparently doing fine to sweating profusely to turning green to yelling for someone to relieve him QUICK. Floor seemed to get the message instantly and had someone tag him out (but between hands, not during--this guy was a very good, very professional dealer who I imagine couldn't fathom the idea of leaving mid-hand, but given he looked a bit like a soggy Herman Munster at that point I woulda excused him if he'd just dropped the deck and run).

Never thought about having to get a read on my dealer, but it's sounding like that might be wise in the 1,10, 5 and 6 seats.

Not to Hijack the thread, but who gets the tip if the dealer swaps out in the middle. (FWIW I've seen floor guys take over for dealers who *ahem* need immediate relief) usually the floor guys hold the tips till the dealer comes back, but in the case of the OP, are the tips pooled ?
