Oops, I forgot the other weird thing, same down:
Five players see the flop for two bets. I put down the flop, and as the first player bets, the third player asks me, "Dealer, was there a raise preflop?"
"I'm not allowed to help you recall the action on previous betting rounds," I explained as the second player called.
"I understand that," said the third player. "But I never called the raise, and if there WAS a raise, I owe the pot three chips."
"Oh God, don't tell me that!", I blurted. I count the pot to see if it's wrong, all the while thinking, "How on earth are we going to sort THIS mess out??? Can we bring back the flop after a bet and a call? He DID speak up before the flop action began, it just wasn't clear that he was pointing out a problem, so we didn't stop the action....I've been dealing 12 years now and have never needed to bring back a flop, this is so humiliating...."
Luckily, the pot was right. Thank God.
The player just wanted to put in what he owed, even if nobody else noticed he owed it. He had no idea that this would involve any more than shipping in what he owed. When I explained all this to him, he laughed and said, "In that case, I'll keep my mouth shut next time!"
That was one weird down to start a shift.
