This just happened last Friday night, $1/2 table, female dealer (won't mention names):
Final board, AT662. Check, check, dealer says, "Let's see em, guys." Player A tables AK, player B tables A2. Dealer looks for a second, drags the pot to player B with A2. Table says "Whoa, whoa, the deuce doesn't count, it's Aces and sixes," dealer says, "No...OH wait, you're right, Aces and sixes," and starts CHOPPING THE POT. We're like, "Uh, NO, Ace-King wins," she's like "OOOHHH, right!"
Sorry to make you sound stupid, dude, but yeah, pots get swung to the wrong player.
Nice try though, get over yourself. Thanks for playing.
So, the pot was given to the correct player?
That's not all that uncommon.
They're not perfect, but no one is losing money because of poor dealers. The table always seems to make sure of that, and this is my point.
In YOUR defense though, I must share this hand I had recently at 2-5, new-ish dealer almost cost me $125. I rivered a fairly disguised nut straight (Disguised due to the betting, not the board), I bet $125 from seat 2 and seat 9 is thinking about it and the dealer wipes away his cards onto another pair of mucked cards and seat 9 is like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I feared they were mucked, but she slides em both back to the guy who thinks about it for a bit then makes the call. He didnt show, and I wonder how much the dealer almost mucking his cards away made him want to call more than he would have had it not happened.
So, maybe I'm just more lenient on the dealers, maybe more than I should be.
