2) Is moving the button for the dealer annoying or helpful? Is it ok in seats 3,4,7,8 and not in others?
3) What other things do players do that they think are helpful but they should actually stop doing?
I feel like I have some apologizing to do to some dealers
My apologies if these have been answered many times over, I haven't read all the replies on this thread yet....
1. I don't mind it when players push other players' bets in on the limit games, but it can get confusing in the NL games. More helpful to me is when people muck their cards towards the middle. Even though I can reach, how much effort does it take to send your cards towards me, as opposed to dropping them just 2 inches over the line where I have to lean forward to grab them?
2. I appreciate it if a player moves the button for me,
but only if they tell me so as they're doing it. Otherwise, I may end up moving it again.
3. Not so much of a thing to help the dealers, but I absolutely HATE IT when players take off their shoes/socks. You are inside a public building. I don't care if your feet are hot/cold/sweaty/sore. Your shoes should stay on. Nothing is more repulsive to me than to see a bare-footed player's ugly-ass toes. And even if you do remove your shoes/socks, don't you ever, EVER, prop your naked, smelly feet up on another chair.
Yes, I've seen it happen. It makes me want to scream.
