I tell him how much he owes and walks away form the table (important concept for new floormen out there, make a decision and then leave the area of the table).

What is the reasoning behind this? Just curious...

If a player wants to argue about what was just decided he has to get up from the table and go to some other part of the room rather than disrupt the game. Also in general it takes a lot to get a poker player out of his seat so most likely they won't bother getting up to argue anymore.

Fair enough, but I think the villain in this scenario exposed a flaw in this plan.

No plan is perfect. Making a decision and then walking away is usually a very effective strategy from my (dealer's perspective) experience.

Only because the dealer didn't open his mouth to get me back to the table. If I have to come back to the table someone will be leaving the casino. The only reason this guy didn't leave the casino when I returned to the table is the casino manager arrived to relay his complaint to gaming so that got him away form the table for a few minutes.

On the other hand this can leave you rdealr in tough spot. You make the controversial decision and its the dealer who has to listen to the whining.

Sometimes this isn't a problem, but when you have a player who will now be intent on trying to start a fight, its the dealer you've hung out to dry. Sometimes its not enough to rule and walk away sometimes a floor needs to keep a close eye on that game after he makes his ruling.

What does this say about the hiring of dealers at your casino? Or any casino for that matter?

I am not happy with some of our hires. We have a lot of tournaments so our options are to limit the size of the fields or hire the best available dealers out of school.

Have you ever thought about asking some of your lower limit clientel if they would like to deal? I'm sure there would be a few people that would gladly do that as opposed to their $10 an hour jobs at kinko's. Plus they already know the general rules of the game so you don't have to stick someone who has no clue about the rules and nuances of poker in a game. Seems like this would keep everyone happier because I know the most annoying thing to me at a poker table (in respect to a dealer, players another story) is a dealer that doesn't control the game.

What casino do you work at?

Who's going to keep players at a table longer? A dealer who knows what they are doing and running the game efficiently? or a dealer who doesn't know anything about the game?

The extra $10 in rake from that one player who becomes a dealer is worth so much to the casino that they wouldn't want to lose them? Come on now. A happy and controlled table generates more rake for a casino than a table that is constantly being delayed because of a crappy dealer.

Last time I checked, most poker dealers still play poker in their off hours.
