The reason I said call the floor is because as soon as you make a comment YOU become the bad guy.

You should call the floor not on behalf of yourself, but on behalf of the poor player whom the dealer interfered with his action. "Mr. Floor, your dealer was asked a question by this poor abused genteleman. Your dealer responded in an inappropriate manner by blah blah blah etc"

I was in the Bellagio over NEw Years when a dealer made a "joke" about one of the guys (there were a couple) with $5K in chips in front of them (4/8 game), sell a new player chips. One of the big stack players goes off, throws a fit, calls the floor, and reads the dealer the riot act for directing any comments specifically towards any player. This is a nit.

Calling the floor in your situation in being a good samaritan.

LOL...yup...calm down, boys n girls...it's a 1-3 game where 70% of the players are having fun. The others are nits or wannabe pros. I can see this being done in a humorous manner with the obvious opportunity to clean it up instantly.

"How much is it to me?" dealers laughs and says "$15?" guy throws out $15...dealer stops and says..."sir..it was only 3 to go...that was a joke" Now you gonna be a nit too? oh you have Aces and you want to make him be forced to keep it out? Which is what happens with local nits. They dont want it to hurt them when it isnt to thier advantage and when it is the want the letter of the law. (chips in pot stay in pot)

Hell I've had players in $25-$50 blinds PLO ask me how much it was to go when they have made every single pot a certain amount 10 times in a row. They say it with a twinkle in their eye...I answer with the "pot it" amount...everyone knows, laughs or smirks and play continues...usually with a "see even the dealer knows how much I'm betting".

NEVER has there been a complaint in spots like this for me.

I can see how you can be all pissy over it. Just be sure you are seeing it in the right context before you get all pissy about it. I may be wrong but I think it sounds like a little light humor to keep the game "fun". And fun games are profitable for all.

Just a hint, people that have absolutely no reading comprehension skills should refrain from flaming other posters.

1 - The guy wasn't limping in, he was raising every time.

2 - The OP was in the BB, he's kinda forced into putting in his $3...

You dont have it straight. How is raising considering limping? The guy RAISED 5xbb, he didn't limp in for 5xbb. Its not possible to limp for more than the bb. And if someone has raised in front of you, you are not smoothcalling in no limit, or cold calling 2bets + in limit.
