Dealer etiquitte

    Does anyone know here the correct dealer etiquitte here.

    I've been playing a few tourny games in the Fitz , and doing quite well, I'm not the best player in the world but I usually get to the money or the table beforehand. Just lucky I guess, well one particular dealer seems to think it's his job to tell you if someone has made a good or bad call agianst you, even if you lose a lot of your stack this guy still manages to criticise you in some way or other.. In my opinion this dealer should just deal the blody cards and keep out of it. I had one bad beat recently, my own fault of course (he would agree) but he actually SNIGGERED about it. I'm watching out for him and if he keeps it up I've two options. 1. report him to he Ivory man or 2. Kick the bejaysus of of him and retire from poker. The latter seems more attractive to me though as I'm playing too much poker anyway. He's obviously read a book *YAWN*
    Don't ask me to go to angermanagement, Ive had to beat up the last councellor (may the lord have mercy) as he told me my shoes needed upgrading. Does anyone know the standard sentence for kicking the bejaysus out of a skinny interfereing pedantic little twit.

    Why don't you just say it to him - "here, (unthooks! Shut your b1tch as$ and deal. ...like a good little b1tch. B1tch." ...if that doesn't put some smacht on him...

    No poker-playing jury in the land would convict you my man. You would probably get a commendation and maybe a public service medal...

    Why not politely ask why he's not playing cards instead of dealing them for minimum wage if he's such a !*%$ing expert?

    The two are unrelated. There are plenty of dealers who play a good game.



    I agree though.

    Why not just say that you don't think he should be commenting on the hands.


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,859 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    I'd love to know who he is referring to as I can't think of anyone that does that in the Fitz that blatantly, but I am afraid to ask really.

    I can think of at least one female dealer unfortunately... :rolleyes:

    To be perfectly honest though temperboy should just say aloud to the dealer "please refrain from commenting on the hand and do your job". If the dealer comments inappropriately again call the TD over. End of story. Why does everything have to be full blown conflict or say nothing??

    because we have become a nation of short-fused megalomaniacs just waiting for the next opportunity to explode in a fury of self-righteous anger?

    just check out any front page newspaper headline these days for proof

    (except me of course ;) )

    Well if I was shortfused he would be sporting a shiner by now, I have spoken to this guy but he sniggers. as I said ONE more time and one of my two options will be played. Whereas option 2 was a joke (HELLO) option 1. is the more likely outcome. I heard from one guy he has alrewady been spoken to by the man so here's hoping he does it agian.

    I like that phrase; "spoken to by The Man".

    puts me in mind of 1970s blaxploitation movies for some reason....is SHAFT going to kick his ass? :rolleyes:

    Actually to be serious for maybe the first time today, I don't really have a problem with dealers commenting as long as (a) the other players don't mind and (b) it's not done in a snide or patronising way (which seems to be your problem with this particular dude).

    Played quite a bit of poker in Vegas last week and most fun game was with a dealer who commented non-stop but in a very funny way (only 1/2NL so no-one was playing for a living)...he made a fortune in tips too!

    Well I certainly won't worry there if any of the comments are hiding nuggets of strategic information. A good player she is not.

    it all comes back to this

    if something is not right and bothering you at a table, say it to the dealer and don't sit and getting more anoyed and tility. If the dealer persists, say it to the TD. Don't let it drag on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Temperboy


    He posts on this board, fancies himself as an exponent but comes across as rude quite frankly, he also bears a striking resembalance to chicken little. anyway thanks for your views. I'm off to explode on the M50 during drive time. as is our national want.

    Shows how much Ive been in the Fitz recently. No idea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Temperboy


    If you can't put a face on Chicken little I give up. I GIVE UP I TELL YA. He smiled at me once and I swear to good god, I folded Aces. I'm fuming in work at the moment as I'm getting too much to do and I've got poker fatique, and last weekend a Polish bird drank me under the table, how can I romance her if she insists on getting me incapacitated, and next mornng all I can think of is the enamal telephone to GAAAWD. Women, can't live with em can't drink them under the table. The wench also won a small fortune on paarty poker in her 1st ever game online or offline, luckily with my account....back to chicken Little here's hoping someday me and the ivory bloke will be making a wish over his SNAPPING BONES. *fume*

    talk next week poker boards.

    Me either. Then again I doubt you are an Omaha player Temperboy. Well one dealer looks like a chicken sorta after his recent 'hairstyling' escapade. Can't say I notice him criticising and commenting on hands he deals though, but he is a cheeky fecker :p

    Eamon?

    I think I know who chicken little is as I guess do a lot of others but I think the criticism is unfair so I'm not going to mention names on that one.

    well there is only one pther person he can be talking about then, even without googling, which is next on my agenda.

    OH get a room dude!
    His name is not Eamon and the criticism is VERY FAIR . Watch him and listen out for his sweet warblings as he sees a move that doyle brunson didn't mention in his book.

    THe Sky is falling, the sky is falling.....

    At least you agree he looks like Chicken Little, so going forward I herby christen him CHICKEN LITTLE (stack)

    :D

    No you misunderstood. My guess for your name was Eamon. Obviously not. There are no dealers called Eamon in the Fitz either a regular would know that.....the plot thickens on the identity of the carrot muncher*......



    *PS Is carrot munching code for something else?? Like something a red haired lesbian might be into??? :D :eek: ;)

    He was wondering if your name is Eamon.

    I know :-) and you will never guess who I am, the leasbian quote was quite close as I'm very much into Lesbians. (wow man you are good) .
    I play at the Fits (well named as that is where I take my fits out on people) a fair bit. I am destined to be world champ someday but I reckon I couldn't handle the American and their in yer face poker, I'm a very violent man and those guys have guns. I sure would like to make a chicken vindaloo some time. I'll be there tonight at the final table I promise you.

    I had AK one time and some guy raised me, I looked at Chickens face and all I could think of was muck, muck, muck, muck muck.

    you know it's against the T&Cs of most online sites to allow someone else to play under your name? Ask JJ's granny.

    THis picture actually is the spitting image of the guy...although the picture is kinda cute so maybe not too close. I've saved this as my PC wallpaper , everytime I see this guy now I'll be on reverse tilt. Hee hee. Muck muck muck


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    Yeah so this thread is bull****. Temperboy is treading a fine line with the insults.

    If you actually have a problem with one of the Fitz dealers then grow some balls and tell the tournament director. Don't complain on the internet about it.
