That is a weak excuse.

Competent individuals should be doing their jobs well all of the time.

I am having trouble with "dealer error" in this instance. I asked the shift manager what happened and he said that both players tabled their hands, the player told the other player that had two pair "good hand" and folded. The dealer was about to deal the next hand when the player said "Hey, I had a straight. When the floor and shift asked the table what they saw. NO ONE at the table said they saw a straight. I feel bad for anyone that thinks that they have been done wrong. I do, but in this situation there was no proof of any straight.

Stan, if both hands are tabled, shouldn't the dealer correct the player and say no your hand is good as you have a straight? Isn't this the point of tabling the hand?

No one at the table saw the straight. The dealer didn't see the straight and none of the players.

What was the Monday 11AM?

Ill probably play the new one this Monday.

Thx. I might make a week visit to borgata around that time

That still doesn't answer the question

Quoting from the original post: I'm not sure whether this poster is correct that a player could confirm the straight or whether your shift manager was right that no one could. With that being said, I don't want to imply that I am labeling that specific instance dealer error. I wasn't at the table, we only got one side of the story, and I have no idea what happened. Didn't intend to imply this was dealer error or not, because I don't know.

My post you quoted was referring to a handful of dealer errors that I myself saw at my own table when I was playing there this weekend. Several times dealers, after being corrected said stuff like "Oh my god, thank you so much, I'm so sorry I'm just really tired" or "Oh, you're right of course, I didn't see the flush" or something like that.

The only reason I commented on it is because I've always been impressed and surprised by how few dealer errors happen at the Borg as against other casinos I've played at. You should take it as a compliment on how highly I regard your room that seeing a handful of errors over 25 hours stuck in my mind as an aberration. At other casinos, that's called "a normal weekend" haha...

The kid FINALLY gets a Friday comp!

Beat: it's for this week and I can't make it there Friday

Double Beat: that's the only Friday available for the next 3 months.

Stan-does this mean I'm close to having Fridays semi regularly? Gonna be putting in another 20 hrs of 1/2 this Sat Sun and Mon

You should be able to do better than 20 hours if you're there for three days.

I'd say try for at least one 10-hour stretch and see if that makes your calendar light up. I'm getting pretty much every Friday, but I've been playing 8-10 hours at a stretch. Stan implied a few weeks ago that duration was a factor (among the many).

That was Stan's polite way of saying that maybe the upset player didn't actually have a straight. There's no proof, so who's to say?

How many runners do you get for the sunday survivors ?

Playing two 5 hr sessions in 1 gaming day is the same as playing for 10 hrs straight, right?

Yes

I always put in a 12 hour session on Saturday when I'm there but I think the poker day is 12am-11:59am and I play from like 1 pm to 2-3 am so I don't know if I'm logging 12 in "one day"

i thought it was 6am - 5:59am?

You are correct sir. Not 12-11:59

The player had a straight. After tabling his hand. Isn't tabling a hand declared as final motion/action of a hand regardless of what occurs after? Isn't that the reason for tabling a hand in general?

Says poker day is 12-11:59 when you look at Feb bonus comp info on website

Correct, 12am to 12am.

Stan

Apparently there is no actual proof that the player had a straight. Nor did anyone actually remember him having it according to Stan.
