I don't make it a point to sit at third but often times when I do the dealer has the shoe positioned so that it blocks my view of first base's cards. I know the simple solution is to not sit @ 3rd base or get up and find another table but I was wondering if there's anything else I can do? Like asking the dealer "Hey my man, I want to root for my buddy at the other end but I can't root for cards when I can't see his hand. Mind pulling that shoe back a bit?". I feel like that would bring crazy heat though. It just seems weird that in all my reading I've never seen "blocked view of 1st base" as a possible downside to sitting at 3rd, so I feel like I'm missing something.
