I decided to go to the Oaks in the morning and play 1/2, now I remember why I stopped coming in the morning. The game was terrible except for an enthusiastic guy knocking back a few cocktails. I had an odd situation come up-

Q
the dealer ships him the pot.
I decide I don't want to play anymore and head to the cage to cash out a few chips I had in my pocket. As I step through the doors and take not more than 5 steps outside, I go over the last hand in my head and realize the river saved me. I run back in and tell the dealer I think he made a mistake and it should have been a chopped pot. He denies the possiblity he could have made a mistake. I tell him I am absolutely sure and they can check the tape. I tell him I want him to call the floor. He tells me to go find the floor myself, basically totally unsympathetic.
I find the floor, explain what happened and he goes to check the tape. As I'm sitting at an empty table waiting for him to came back I start to think maybe I didn't recall right, maybe there was no K and how it would be a little embarrassing to make such a big fuss over a lost pot.
After what seems like a long time he comes up to me and says "let's get you paid". He politely lets old man know what happened and that he needs half of 493. He slides the chips into the middle and the dealer pushes them to me. I think an apology would have been appropriate after shipping 247 of my money to someone else, but given how he handled the situation I'm not surprised he said nothing. I tipped the floor for his effort.
Of course I shoulder some of the responsibilty for not noticing or speaking up at showdown, but the dealer was completely uncooperative and unprofessional after I came back in to plead my case. I am glad it got worked though. The moral of the story: protect your hand.
