Realize this is the break room but let me interject a pure player opinions
1. Don’t beat yourself up, no one is perfect. Errors occur. Take it as opportunity to learn and improve.
2. I like your idea to apologize privately. I don’t like your idea to pay his tab. Consider what it might look like if someone totally unaware of the events were to see this. Also to protect yourself. If others find out, they might consider you a soft mark and try to take advantage of your generosity in the future. Were you to try and pay my tab, I would thank you but decline your offer. I would appreciate it but not accept it.
3. On your ‘just check back after floor was called’. Sorry, too late. Once the objection that he did not check is raised, the players are out of the decision process. Either it is decided he checked or not and this is not a player decision. Not really even a dealer decision if player insists in the slightest. But if decision is he checked (by floor), card stays. If decision is he did not check, it is premature and card will be shuffled back in per procedure of the room. Point is that once the objection is raised, let the process play out. Player should not be allowed to say , never mind I will check.
