The player making a big deal about it basically said the way we bet our chips and what denominations etc. is for a reason and the dealer shouldn't offer more information than they're required to.
So I imagine you'll see dealers announcing sizing in lower stakes games since nobody cares and it'll keep the game moving faster.
Yea it was just weird
I was in a spot where I was short stacked in the big blind... While in the 10 seat.
Keep in mind the dealer would never lien back at all when it was ever my time to act.
The 3 seat raise, and throw his bet directly in my direction... Which, by the way, the chips are layered towards me... From where I'm seated it appears that he threw out a 3x raise.
Again, I'm short, there are anti's in the pot, and the table folds to me and my suited connectors. I elect to call what I think is 2 bigs more. I announce call and complete the 3 bigs, and the dealer say I'm 5k short ?!?!?
I didn't complain, cause i knew I had no recourse, but that hand changed the rest of the mtt.
