This is what tilted me the most. When I spoke up he was literally saying no problem.
If he had done this in error nbd we all error but thinking it was fine and normal I don’t forgive so easily.
UPDATE to show the attitude…
Same dealer tap in, loose, active game. I am not put of this hand so not positive on exact details. Btn straddle, I believe SB raises to like $25 few calls (I fold), btn makes it $75. Dealer, with no one asking pulls in the $25s. Worth noting btn has been frequently raising his btn straddle AND no other dealer has been pulling in all night.
While pulling in here is not as bad, the btn makes a comment about it and ask why dealer did it. Everyone folds, which is unusual in this game, but the discussion between btn and dealer continues. Dealer is insisting pulling in bets is standard everywhere.
Btn says none of the cardrooms he plays in do that. Dealer, condescending, says well those are cardrooms, you are in a real casino now. I am shaking my head like yes you are correct to btn. I am in 10 seat, btn is in 3 so dealer can’t see me (more bad procedure as he is completely distracted from the current hand and action) as he is focused on S3.
S3 says, you never see that in the WSOP plus “he”, as S3 gestures toward me, knows it is against the rules. Dealer: who says against rules where S3 says S10. Dealer looks at me and says oh that’s because XXXX (uses my name) and you use tournament rules. I also mention no other dealer has done this tonight, which he says is because they are all wrong/bad.
This is hilarious because dealer absolutely knows I play exclusively cash (my last tournament was a free roll about/over 15 yrs ago) and he knows the default rules I have referred to previously are RRoP. I respond, no, it is not against the rules, but it is a not normal or is a less common procedure for cash or tournaments.
Dealer continues with some mildly smart@ss comments, S3insists he is correct, I just shake my head and chuckle while continuing not tipping him. This was really hilarious when he has to push me a $1000+ pot a couple hands later.
But dealer is so dug in now it is laughable. If I get the chance and somehow he doesn’t pull in, I might sit there until he says it is on me. Then I go, I am waiting for you to pull in prior bet/calls.
