In 7 years of dealing this procedure has saved me from mucking a winning hand and potentially avoiding a camera review ~5 times. This also allows me to easily show any player who thinks a mistake is being made that they in fact didn’t have a flush/straight/2 pair, etc.
The last audition I went on there was a girl who was straight out of dealing school who was clearly very nervous. During an Omaha 8 hand she killed a hand that should’ve gotten 3/4 of the pot and quickly shoved it deep into the muck. Had that been a live game situation that surely would’ve been a camera review and a delay of at least 10-15 min. Needless to say she didn’t get the job.
