Rude dealer comments

Wasn't the greatest weekend I've had in a while. Had multiple losing sessions on multiple DD tables. Didn't matter what casino either. Just some stubborn negative variance.

Anyway, during my last session, with a TC of +6 and slightly less than 1 deck left in play, I had my max bet out on two spots. With what ended up as the last hand of the game, I had two 20's - dealer had 9 facing. Dealer turned a 3, and then pulled 9 for a 21.

As I colored up my remaining chips, dealer says "You counters. I don't understand why you play so aggressive. You never ultimately win. We always win - when are you going to learn that?" Dealer didn't look more than 30, and gave me this grin that, IMO, not even a mother could love. :flame:

I was very aggravated by his show of arrogance. I held myself back from retaliating. I'll be back... :whip::whip::whip:

What other rude/stupid comments have dealers made to you?

Id look at is as a +EV statement. You will certainly never tip that dealer again, and if they share tips you could make a good argument for never tipping at that place. Win rate increase!

X2-------also, be sure to tell the other dealers why you aren't tipping.

Omaha,

Ya, but would if you had won those hands,,,what then???

Dangerous thing for the dealer to say.:devil:

Very dangerous, indeed.

That is a situation where I would not rule out dealer cheating. A dealer stupid and arrogant enough to say something like that is stupid and arrogant enough to learn cheat moves and actually use them to defeat counters. You are dealing with a person who sounds like he might have a little bit of abnormal psychology there, and given what and where you are playing it is probably an Indian store where you have abridged rights. That's a dangerous combination.

Not saying you should accept defeat or be cowed by this dealer's comments, but I would be careful about returning to this store at all. :flame:

No

Not me, but I've been accused of being "assertive" before.

HMmMm..I didn't notice anything besides his arrogant demeanor. I admit, I'm not the best when it comes to calling out dealers on possible cheat moves. However, I've generally had great experiences with other dealers at this non-Indian store.

Perhaps try a different shift or simply a different dealer? Some of these games have great penetration.
