I called a misdeal last night when a novice sat down to our Friday night tourney and was across from me. On his deal he was flashing the cards and I could see every card he dealt. I called a misdeal and told him what he was doing. However instead of the rest of the table be appreciative of it, I got several dirty looks and a little murmuring under the breath.
I just could not play with that kind of advantage and feel like at least one of the guys that was upset had also seen it and wanted that advantage. I know that poker is all about finding advantages, but I can not in good conscious play like that.
Would you have called the misdeal? Do I just keep my mouth shut and use it for myself or did I do right by playing as a gentleman?
I feel bad when we get someone who should not be at the table too. We have one guy who sits at our table who is so bad that all I have ever seen is him donate and out before first break. Sometimes I just feel like I am stealing from him. I know he is voluntarily sitting down, but it feels wrong knowing that he has absolutely no chance at winning anything ever.
