Pot size is always correct.<br />Above all else, I repeat ZERO DEALER MISTAKES.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-88736835525853930012016-11-23T10:54:28.064-05:002016-11-23T10:54:28.064-05:00I would have spoken up, have done so many times in...I would have spoken up, have done so many times in similar situation.

Maybe he'd had a few incidents of making mistakes on his record, and he felt that one more would have been the straw that broke the camel's back, ie, one more mistake and he'd be fired. Just suppose, anyway.

If anything this should be a learning experience or a summation of prior events leading to his being fired.
