In a Limit Cash Game I was playing last night, there was a misunderstanding and I’m wondering if the floor played this out correctly.
Action is around to this guy who is holding pocket QQ’s on the turn. Action checks to him at which time he says “Check?”asking in the form of a question to see if action is on him. Dealer misinterprets this comment to mean he was actually checking. For me, it was clearly a question and not a statement of action, but I understand context matters. She burns and turns the river which is a 3rd diamond and the guy is pissed. He says, “I didnt check!” Dealer responds, “you said check” And they argue it back and forth for a moment. He Eventually checks the river and calls an $8 bet. He shows QQ and loses to a rivered flush. He then tells the dealer, “you costed me money!”Dealer immediately calls the floor and explains the situation from her perspective and the guy argues that he didn’t say check. Floor says the river card was supposed to be burned, but says there’s nothing he can do now that the hand is over.
Was the dealer correct? Should she have stopped when there was an altercation? Very curious about other perspectives.
