    I was playing a cash game tonight at hollywood park and this came up

    ive folded my hand at this point. player a bets, player b folds. dealer starts to push pot to player b. everyone at the table says something, dealer pushes pot to correct player. player a then starts telling the dealer she cant do that etc, goes on for a a little bit, like a minute or 2. eventually dealer apologizes, he keeps going on, grabs a chip and says that these are just chips but have real cash value. i step in and say "ok she gets it can we just play?" and he starts screaming at me. he told me that i was in his business and that i wasnt in the pot so i have no right to say anything. all i want to do is play cards

    am i out of line?

    No, he's out of line. Live dealers make mistakes. He should learn to accept that or he should stick to online.

    No one in this world is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Tell the guy bitching at the dealer to STFU and get a life.

    thanks

    the reason i asked is cause after that player went broke a few hands later, another player told me i was out of line also. i really didnt agree at all, but figured id just say ok and deal with it. he definately had gotten his point across and the pot was in his posession. i know its a cash game so time doesnt matter cause there is no clock, but there is only so much you can say to a dealer. there was no more good that could have come from what he was saying to the dealer. oh well...busting the guy up was fun

    Its funny when you deal.. You can deal 1000 hands correctly. But heaven forbid you make one mistake and you would think the world is about to end. I get this dealing BJ all the time.. Im pretty much a wiseass so if the player gets in a huge tizzy about my mistake I will basically get sarcastic with him.. ( Oh my god.. I made a mistake.. Just end life immediatly.) Some players are cool. They just say hey you didnt pay me.. And I pay them.. Yawn.. Mistake fixe.d. Its not my money.. Ship it.

    Pretty much repeating what everyone else said. You were totally in the right to say something. "You were not in the pot" is as useless as teats on a boar hog. Each player has every right to ensure fair play and fair pay. Period.
