This is a hole in this method for sure from the Dealer's point of view. I can't say that a Dealer or two (or six) hasn't suffered in this spot, but I will try to pull something from my pocket or tip the next time I run into that Dealer.
The spot you are describing, although certainly not impossible with my style, would be pretty rare. I see the same Dealers all the time, play quite often and (unfortunately) have a decent memory when it comes to short-term losses.
There are a few Dealers who acknowledge recent beats when I sit down. I certainly can't speak for them, but some of them acknowledge the method even if they don't see it as ideal. I do know that it has been a 'break room' discussion point. I would think it falls under the 'something is better than nothing' category for most Dealers. It might be an epic fail on my part but I don't sense any animosity from my regular Dealers, but it can be very obvious the first down through with some.
You can safely assume that I don't have any pure disciples that I'm aware of, but I have seen a few players toke a Dealer when they push at times when they see what I'm doing.
Believe me, if I was a better player then this would have very little negative vibe!! The up side is way better than the down coming from a winning player. The main issue is that I play a very aggressive style so I can dominate a lot of small pots with very little profit. It would be interesting to see a bunch of Nits implement.
