Okay, I only got through half. Dinner's ready.
#1 - Welcome to the board
#2 - If you don't chop, he's going to fold anyway. In some situations you need to just go with the flow of the table. You don't want people to think you're tight or a solid player. You want action. It probably would have been alright to chop, but I don't fault you for saying no thank you.
#3 - Depending on my mood I do one of two things about this dealer. First option is to immediately ask for the floor supervisor and explain that you don't appreciate being berated at the table by a dealer.
My other option would be to look square at him and say, "Why don't you go over to the break room and fuck yourself for a little while."
I rarely play live cash games but when I do, I'd love for a deaelr to start some shit like this. Give me a reason to go off on someone.
Either option, the rest of the night(or as long as he's on the table), I would've scooped every last chip from the pot and stacked 'em up while looking right at him. I would've licked my fingers after the last chip hit the stack too.
I may have even fake tipped him a few times. You know reach out and give him the old "psych!"
If the dealer's don't pool tips, I would've tipped the next dealer as he came in for the change. Before he dealt and so the other dealer could see.
If they pool tips, I'd be sure to let EVERY dealer that came to the table know the reason they were getting no tips from you that evening.
