An incident with a dealer...

[Gonso]

As told, yes, you have to approach the floor manager as soon as possible.

There could have been another reason for it, just horrible procedure by the dealer, so no need to jump to conclusions at the table. I was accused of stealing at my first job by some moron who couldn't tell my toke box from the BBV drop. They had to and call the cameras and everything.

Anyway if it turns out he was stealing, he'll be gone & good riddance to him. It can do tons of damage to the reputation of the room and other dealers there, he'll all dealers really. We're discussing it here now even.

I don't know why you'd be even the slightest bit sympathetic, cuz I wouldn't be. I've dealt a helluva lotta hands and I have never ever ever ever stolen even $1. He deserves to be fired and every other one of them that pulls this stunt also deserves to be fired. They should be taken out of the casino in handcuffs on the spot.

I can tolerate some things but if the rampant unprofessionalism in poker is going to extend all the way to "it's ok to steal chips out of the player's pots because the players are expected to tolerate it" then things are fixin' to fet real ugly cuz I'm drawing a line in the friggin' sand.

Not a pussy, but is $5-10 worth ruining someone's job and livelyhood?

what?! Hell yea it is. stealing doesn't fly at any kind of job. this offense calls for termination on the spot and should be set as an example for the rest of the dealers and workers that stealing is a very serious matter.

$5-10? most likely he has stolen much more than that.

If $5-10 isn't worth the dealer losing their job then they shouldn't be risking their job by stealing it.

This is probably the most automatic "call the floor" situation I've ever seen and it's not even close.

That bastard is STEALING from you, and to make matters worse he's making you look like a complete SUCKER by doing it right in front of your face. He's telling you you're a mark, a sucker tourist, and you have no idea how the game is run. He's a thief and I'd pull the floor over, the gaming comission over, whoever the hell I needed to. He needs to be not only fired immediately, but arrested. I'd press charges. We already pay ridiculous sums to the rake, and to have this degenerate clown stealing from the pot is just insane.

If I am not 100% certain that the dealer was stealing I would not say anything to him infront of the rest of the table. I would probably start paying much closer attention to him and make sure that I actually "Catch" him stealing at which point I would discreetly tell the floor. It is usually -EV to disrupt a table and arise any suspicion of any sort of stealing on a poker table whether by players or dealers...so keep it to yourself while on the table and don't start a scene!

I definately agree that you shouldn't just not say anything at all... Stealing is stealing and if the dealer is indeed stealing any chips then he should lose his job. Plain and simple!

Just wondering, did you still toss him a tip on that hand?
