I appreciate your dedication but you are mistaken. Here's why
You cannot show me in any rule book where it says the dealer is responsible for:
- protecting the player's hand
- being aware of the action
- anything else
The dealer is, at the end of the day, a body who's provided to help protect the sanctity of the game and speed things along by being a pro at flinging cards. You're also there to rep your employer, provide customer service, and collect fees.
PLAYERs, however, can play cards w/o a professional dealer - just not in a casino. It's on US first to own OUR jobs. You're welcome to help - but if you don't say straddle, the straddle is still valid. If you don't say raise, the raise is still valid. If you don't say "action is here" action is still there.
