on a side note was anybody else here on table 8 at the start of the night? Didn't recognise anyone but the craic on the table was great. Loose doesn't begin to descibe it though, 6 rebuys and two players gone before the break from that table, every other hand there was an all-in bet with the blinds at 25-50 and 50-100 crazy stuff.
Hussain was in Seat 1 and was doing his utmost to distract and put people off, all in good fun I'm sure, and certainly the rest of us had a laugh at it. One down point was one of the dealers though, new girl I think (at least I haven't seen her before) and to be honest she didn't seem to have the first clue as to the rules or how the game was played. Couple of mistakes that stood out
1. Not dealing to a stack because the player wasn't at the table at the time
2. Putting all the chips into one pot when one player was all-in on a sidepot against two players who were still playing
3. Not realising that she actually had to deal cards after the preflop betting had finished, had to be prompted on practically every hand.
4. When there was a split pot she asked whether we should divvy it up or should she?
5. This is the best of the lot, and it happened twice, the first time I was involved...
Lady in MP raised all-in for 725, I'm in LP and have TT so I call, everyone else folds. Chips go into the middle, and the lady turns over QQ, I turn over TT and say nice hand.. dealer pushes all the chips to the lady!! A couple of us pipe up with you have to deal the cards anyway, as it was I got no help so maybe she just knew in advance and was saving time.
About 10 hands later she did the same thing to much laughter. She was probably really nervous and there was no real damage done, it was taken in good spirit and it definitely helped the atmosphere at the table, apart from Hussain who seemed royally pi$$ed at the whole thing.
Funniest hand on the table was when Hussain was under the gun and flat called, a guy in MP goes all-in out of turn and Hussain jumps out of his seat "You go all-in, I call, I call" needless to say everyone else folds, Hussain calls for almost his entire stack and turns over A5s against AQo...hits a 5 on the river to win it and proclaims "I bet, I win, I play, I win"
more money than sense... 0 -

Had you ever seen the new dealer before? Would it have been one of the gaming floor staff who was thrown in at the deep end because of a lack of staff?
She might have been although I haven't seen her at any of the gaming tables either so I don't know. I think it's more likely that she's only recently started there, still no harm no foul.
Not as bad as a dealer on the last table I played on, kept burning cards, then burning the replacement cards, talking back to the players and getting very aggresive. Don't know him, his name was Richie or something, thought it was going to come to blows at one stage

Here's hoping Samba, preferably in the €270 game at the end of the month! 0 -

A lot depends on the table, the more players that are out to make the dealers life more difficult, the more mistakes you tend to make.
If things are getting very tense you can always ask the TD/floorperson for a dealer change, if you are not one of the people involved in the 'tension' the dealer will probably thank you later.
It was definitely Richie but I'm only joking and waiting for him to rise to the bait!
He did make a few mistakes, but they were brought on by players at the table acting the eejit and getting on his nerves. It did get very tense at one point but then there was a break and it calmed down.0 -

Hmmm bait...
Most of the few mistakes, some mine, some not, occured on a single hand and it was a bit of a clusterfsck. Accidents happen at the tables and there are rules for when they do. Unfortunately, they weren't followed properly in this instance, mainly by 3/4 in particular, making my situation difficult. As MadsL says a few posts above: 'the more players that are out to make the dealers life more difficult, the more mistakes you tend to make' - so true. These ppl are regulars who on this occasion didn't seem to know the rules or ettiquette (out of turn, hiding cards and stacks, calling the wrong rules, hands in pots, throwing cards, etc.), so some tension as I attempt to be assertive with limited success. Cue some of that patronising Sunday night rudeness thread behaviour and this dealer goes on a bit of a tilt, takes deep breath and counts to 10. Got off the table a few hands later.
A bit of an eyeopener wrt rude vs polite players. Iago was of course polite even if he's a house on the river beatin my nut flush on flop swine 0 -
