Re: Chips in pot in PLO question
[ QUOTE ]
In a case where some nit claims you have overbet and wants it trimmed back, I assume the dealer would count/stack it at that point? [/ QUOTE ] No, the dealer would trim it back if it was over or tell them it isn't over if it isn't over.

[/ QUOTE ] Well call the floor over, but in general every oen at the tabel knows how much is in the pot so the other players will tell either the player or the dealer that they are wrong about how much is in the pot. edit to add: In my limited (probably about 150 hours) PL experience I have never seen a dispute about pot size that wasn't settled in about 2 seconds by the table.

Re: Chips in pot in PLO question
Sheesh, the OP said this isn't a usual PLO room, don't go killing the dealers for not having experience with PLO.
How does stacking the pot slow down the game? Stack it while action is going on for the next round. If it's a game new to the players, they'd probably appreciate it, too, and that way the new dealers won't have to start from zero after the inevitable interruption. Theft? Really? In a conversation where people are saying everyone at the table plus a few from the next table over should know the exact pot at all times, nobody at the table will notice a discrepancy in a bunch of 20-stacks? C'mon, folks, pick a side and stick with it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In general I want the dealer touching the pot as little as possible.

Re: Chips in pot in PLO question
Man this thread is forming many legs. Here are the facts:
- the dealers did not know the pot size at all times (forget about dealers should know, 3 of them did not but 1 of them did). - the players did not volunteer pot size information except for 2 players (official pros), the rest were NL Holdem specialist players that were bored. (opinion -->  There probably were 3 others players who knew the pot size as well but didn't speak up.- I assumed a messy pot slowed the game down and a neatly stacked pot would speed things up hence I wanted a neatly stacked pot to get more hands played - I need to work on my game selection. I was with the ignorant NL Holdem pack Next time this happens, I'm just gonna ask the dealer to leave the pot neatly stacked. Hopefully at this level, the house will let the 5/10 players do what they want. There wasn't any dispute of any kind but we wanted to get things right. At this level, there aren't as many 1/2 NL television know everything because they heard it from a reliable WSOP/WPT show. Sorry to throw that in, had to vent a little. I don't miss the 1/2 NL days. Think of big boobs. Keeping it safe for work.
