Ignored by everyone in respect to how the ruling was handled, them refusing to look at the tapes, and them refusing to take your concerns seriously about future rulings.

Oh, perfect! Thanks for clarifying!

It never crossed your mind to think hey it didnt cost me any money and no one else has an issue so maybe i should leave it alone?

I did think about that, WhiteJesus. But when the player in question, the moment I raised my hand to get the dealer’s attention and said my first word, responded with “Go f*** yourself, I’ll f*** you up” and plenty more in that vein—paired with the staff’s complete disregard—it made me rethink letting it go. There was nothing wrong with handling the situation calmly, addressing it with facts instead of insults, and proving me wrong if I was mistaken.

So another player physically threatened you, and everyone else just ignored it?
You sounds like someone who doesn't play well with others.

So now you’re just flat out contradicting yourself.
At Live! Casino Philadelphia poker room, I witnessed one of the most baffling ways a poker room could choose to handle a potential rule violation.
During a hand, a player at my table pushed all his chips forward past the betting line, then suddenly pulled them back. Sitting right next to him, I immediately noticed and alerted the dealer. The dealer's response? Silence. He just ignored me and continued dealing.
Seeing that the dealer wasn’t interested, I flagged a floor staff member. His response? "The hand played out, no need to check the cameras." In other words, they didn’t even care whether a violation had occurred or not—they just decided it wasn’t worth looking into.
To make things worse, the player in question began insulting and threatening me right in front of the dealer and the floor staff. Instead of intervening, the dealer downplayed the situation and told security that there was just "some tension at the table."
So which is it? Did he say this right after you opened your mouth or did he say it after you attempted multiple escalations for a ruling of a hand you weren’t even in?

Checkraisedraw, your posts are making me quite confused.
In your first post, the main point was that I was overdramatizing the situation. I read it, found it reasonable, and responded while also asking you a question. You replied with a slightly harsher tone, firmly standing by your point, yet I still thanked you for the clarification.
Now, as someone who is supposedly just an impartial observer, you seem to have a hard time accepting my response. That makes me seriously question the sincerity of your lecture, Checkraisedraw. If you, as a neutral bystander, are struggling this much to accept my explanation, I can’t even imagine what you would have done in the casino that day if you were in my place. They might have had to call in the SWAT team!
Hahaha… just kidding. You’re a good lad
Nice dodge. Not going to address the clear contradiction?
I am perpetually angry about spit that happens at my casino, but I don't quite understand why you're angry. This doesn't appear to have affected you. The other players would have a grievance, and they don't care. I'm guessing the offender has something wrong with him (drunk/slow/naive), and they let him slide because he's good for the game. No harm no foul.
