Personally I look at these decisions like bad calls in baseball; in the end a bad floor ruling evens out, but you should most definitely be a manager running out of the dugout and make a stink about it; if for nothing else to insure you get the benefit of the next call.

In your case; it's ridiculuous that the guy said he could get your buy-in back and then changed his story. I actually think you have a legitimate case for not playing there again. Also, how on earth does a the floor rule against Allen Kessler?!??!?!!??! It's like punching out Wade Boggs looking; if he didn't swing it wasn't a strike
I also agree on the multiple chips ruling. At any room I've played at in Boston, and I also believe at Foxwoods/Moheghan too, if you put in multiple chips and don't say anything, that's your raise. Ditto opposite with one chip; don't say anything with one chip in pot=call.

Also, god bless Allen Kessler. That guy's a nit's nit.......but if you are on shit end of a poker decision, he'd be the "3rd Base Umpire" to ask an opinion on.
