In
gamblese, this type of overbearing meathead is
called a " Table
Captain,” a tongue-in-cheek term denoting
the player who takes it upon
him-or-herself to mediate all disputes and officiate
in all other
matters requiring interpretation of the rules
and the wise crafting of
decisions.
Those
of us who enjoy a private game around our kitchen
table all know,
and quite possibly dislike, such an officious
player. Fortunately in a
cardroom, games are dealt by house dealers, whose
handicraft is not
only to pitch cards, but also to settle squabbles.
If his or her
decisions are challenged, a floor supervisor is
always there to
arbitrate any quibbles players may have.
