first of all, this was Adam at Caesars, probably one of my favorite dealers. If you play there at night, you'll know him.

I was in mid-position, nobody behind me except the button after a preflop raise to 15. Checked around to the button after the flop, and he bets 30. Fold around to me, and I raise 30. Problem is, the dealer doesn't see my raise and puts out the turn which is exposed for everybody to see, and I tell him I raised. He sees my bet, admits the mistake immediately although the button complains and says I can't bet after I see the card; dealer explains again I put out the bet before the card, and it was his fault.

Dealer says, I'm going to burn and put out the river card which will be the same had I not made a mistake. We bet that also 50 by me and a call. He says, "I'm going to shuffle in the exposed turn so it has a chance to come out again, he burns, and then puts out the turn which in this case is really fifth street.

I check, the button bets 100, I call and win (should have raised, but I figured I was beat for some reason). Might be upset had that turn that was shuffled back in helped me, but really it had no bearing. Actually, the river helped my opponent to 2 pair, but my bottom flopped set held up (there were 3 cards to a straight after all the community cards were dealt). Was this correct dealer action?

he should have called the floor but the floor would have done the same thing.
