Player that just lost the hand counts and stack 38,000 in chips and stacks them. The dealer starts to bring the chips in and this player, to needle the other player that just lost a big pot ask for a recount. The dealer says I just counted them. The player winning the pot is satisfied with the count, the player who lost the pot put in what he thought was the right amount and the dealer verified it. Is the correct card room procedure to do a recount?

Nobody is entitled to a recount. This isn't an election.

If someone thinks a mistake has been made they should speak up. And then their issue should be addressed.

I assume this is a tournament, every hand effects every player so we can't just say if the 2 players involved are content we can move on.

But you put forth this was done to needle the loser. I don't know how you know that but if true just give the player a penalty and the next dumb thing he does thriw him off the roof.

psandman nails it. Players are encouraged to speak up if they see a mistake in the count, but if this guy is doing it intentionally, give him a solid KITN.

+2 psandman.

In a tournament it doesn’t matter if all the players in the hand are “satisfied” because everybody else is affected by those stack sizes, too. You can’t just bet 1000 on the river, turn over the winner and tell the other guy you are OK with him only paying 500. So every other player in the tournament has a right to know chip counts are correct. But if you abuse that right to annoy other players or just waste time, the floor should address you.

What makes you so sure it was to needle the loser? If he honestly thought the dealer/player put in the wrong amount, he has every obligation to speak up and the dealer should recount it.

I agree but the player should be articulating what he thinks is wrong ... Not just saying recount it. I think the winner had more than 38000 or I think you only took 35000 from the loser is far more useful than "recount that"

Were you the needler? And if not then how do you know that is why they asked?

They have a history- the player that put in the 38,000 and the guy asking for a recount. They have almost come to blows and call each other d***head, c***sucker et al.

And that doesn't mean the player doesn't genuinely believe a mistake has been made.
