Am I out of line here or should dealer have been pulled?

Anyone else with an opinion, particularly those with some live experience/knowledge....TP etc

A) Guy with Kings definitely has every right to be pissed/withhold tips indefinitely. Calling the floor seems appropriate. If after the dealers comment someone with a diamond exposes their hand, I'd still expect them to get the pot.

B) At the local cardrooms I play at here in WA, it is unlikely that this would get the dealer pulled. But that's strictly low stakes. Higher stakes at top caliber room in Vegas, I would expect she'd get the hook.

Of course, at the higher stakes, it is a lot less likely players would need to be asked if they had a flush.

I'd venture to guess that they wouldn't pull her at FW, but like you, I'd complain if she wasn't.

i am surprised that a casino dealer would act the way she did. i really think its wrong to ask if anyone has a diamond... i mean, she could have asked the players to flip their cards over instead. if that happened to me at my table, i would call for the floor too. i dont think you did anything wrong.

I'm guessing you don't play live very much.

heh.. well you are right. the nearest 18 and over casino is 90 miles from where i live so its a hassle going there. but ive been there many times and i have not seen a dealer act that way.
