Bad floor ruling / angle shoot
Hand goes to the river, I have TT on a JJT 5 2 board. I go all-in for $180 into a $250 pot.
V covers and goes into the tank for about a minute. He get's the full count twice.
V is sitting in seat 2 in a 8-max table so he has miles of real estate in front of him. His cards are well in front of his chips.
After he tanked enough, he pulls a $100 chip in one hand and a stack of 5s in another and swings them just in front of his cards and starts stacking the 5s.
There is an unofficial betting line but the room's rule is forward motion. With his seat position the betting line a long ways from the seat.
I table my hand, he looks at my cards and after a second or two says "I didn't call".
Floor is called, I'm pleading my case because the dealer is the worst one in the room and I don't trust her to have paid attention or state it clearly. Of course I am shut down and the dealer mostly gets it right. Floor asks if he moved chips in front of his cards and where they were. Floor rules no call.
One, is this the right ruling. Two, is there any chance V was not really intending on calling but stacking his chips to count them even though he had space behind his cards to do so. For the second question a short stack who was all-in on the flop had a T so it's an almost certainty V had a J.

I don't understand why some people are so quick to pop their load and table their strong hands. Just ****ing wait until the dealer confirms the action and asks you to show. A few extra seconds of patience is all it takes sometimes to get paid.
