Just switch tables... it sounds like the benefit of having a short-stacking fish is outweighed by how few hands you're seeing. Might be a different story if he was a maniac instead.
Also I would recommend that people watch the rake for mistakes, especially with less experienced dealers. Had a dealer last night who was trying to rake $1 out of any flopped pot, even if it was under $10. I asked for the floor and they confirmed that pots under $10 should not be raked at all, even with a flop.
Has anyone else noticed that the back of the poker room (farthest from the entrance) gets neglected by the staff on all fronts? Seats stay open longer, brushes take longer to come, the floor rarely comes around, and even the waitresses seem to come by less often. I am going to bring this up with a floor person today, it is very irritating. On top of that, last night the Bravo console at our table was not working, so we had to manually tell the floor every time we had an open seat.
