The other day I noticed a dealer error where they busted a player at my table. I was tempted to call it out but did not because I didnt want to attract attention to the table. Does anyone else call out these errors for other players ?

While counting, indexing and trying to avoid heat, you probably will not have time to watch out for the other players. In the event that you catch an error for another player, it becomes a personal choice. For me, I hardly can keep my concentration in line to worry about what is happening next door.

I mind my own business. No benefit in making yourself any more memorable than you have to. And in most cases, I prefer the other player loses his or her money quickly and leaves.
