Just say you call or push in your entire stack of chips and get on with it. Nobody cares that your knowledge of the rules are superior to everyone else's and your single chip constitutes binding action or whatever.
i don't follow.
player A goes all in
player B tosses 1 chip in the pot past the betting line.
that is 100% a call and unless your casino has some strange rules, you don't need verbal confirmation. you can instruct the parties to turn over their hands.
if player B then throws a hissy fit or something, call floor. easy game. no floor will interpret the chip tossing in the pot after the all in as anything other than a call. this shouldn't be something that is maddening to you as a dealer.
there's TONS of things that should piss you off as a dealer-> folks wearing headphones and being in their own world after having to constantly be told it's their action. i hate that as a player and would imagine it's super frustrating as a dealer.
there's TONS of stuff that also piss me off as a player, but nothing really tilts me (the literal definition of going off for bets i shouldn't be). stuff that i've seen in the past 2 weeks that has been extremely annoying:
1. people constantly changing seats for no reason at all making a musical chairs scenario every time a player leaves (especially if this confuses the person coming in from the must move or forces him/her to miss a free hand).
2. people getting into arguments about washing the deck. literally player A says "wash the cards pls", player B says "no don't do that, i don't want them washed." and then this turns into a delay of the game of around 2-3 minutes each time. so freaking annoying.
3. people being upset at me when i practice spanish w/ spanish speaking dealers. go f*ck yourselves, i don't do it during the hand.
4. players who think they're too cool for school at like 2/5nl (i played 1 session of 2/5 and there were 2 players at the table treating this game like it was the final table of the wsop me). this is just the most annoying thing. like dude, get over yourself. cards dealt-> glasses go on, chip protector goes over chip, hoodie goes up over their head. mucks hand-> takes hoodie off, takes glasses off. rinse repeat. really????????????
5. players who take WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much time to bet/raise. i mean i know i'm a bit annoying when i trow' some chips in not in perfectly neat stacks (i keep 8stacks of chips and slide the whole stack in since the borg chips don't cut easily. this is limit ofc), but to sit there and take up to 5-8 seconds to count out 3 stacks of 4 chips? seriously? time that out in your head. that's a LOT of time and a huge difference from the standard 1-2 seconds. at least SAY raise so the people behind you can act lol. i don't mind this if the person says raise and the next people can act. but when it holds up the action, very very annoying.
i'm sure there's more
