Wow, dealer looks at my mucked hand. Thoughts?

This has never happened to me that I know of, and I have played a lot of live poker. It would definately irritate me though.

There is a dealer at the suncoast that does it all the time. It doesnt bother me because if the hand he looks at hits then he'll give that player a crooked smile which works out to my benefit. Just call me MR. Brightside. Mind you hes looking at the cards before the flop not really after folds.

I had this happen to me once when I made a pretty big bluff, I guess the dealer was just curious about the hand.

I had this same thing happen to me at Paris in LV this weekend. I didn't really care about it. BUT...There was a time in Oceans 11 where one of the players asked the dealer what the mucked hand was and she showed him (and just him). Neither myself nor the player asking to see the cards were in the hand. That one really ticked me off. I asked the dealer to not do that again.

Plenty of regulars know plenty of dealers. It would be simple to get the info of a mucked hand should the dealer be allowed to continue this.

Tactfully remind him to protect your mucked cards, and not view them. Also, save yourself the tip on the next pot he pushes to you. (I tip well for great service, so there has to be measures for the opposite.)

Its a little odd-but wtf mention it to the dealer and go on with the hand-did he tell anyone. The stupid brewha ha's that come up in every session are enough to make me want to quit the game- In his interview on rounders the poker show Bobby Hoff said its getting so he cant find a game at the Commerce because of all the A-holes. Have a dealer premature the flop when you flop top set and see how you act-most people have no class at all

I would have no problem telling the dealer that he will never receive a tip from me again.

I have this happen to me often in Australia. So often I thought it wasn't a big deal.

It is the dealer why should you care. I would understand if a player did it. Did the dealer tell your hand? Too many peeps get too strung out over ettiquette!

If I choose not to give information, I choose not to give information. Simple.
