Table Captain poker
A humorous name for the player who takes it upon himself to
arbitrate in all matters requiring decisions, settle all disputes,
and interpret all rules. Such a role is generally only required
in a private game, because most card room games are dealt by
house dealers; even where they are not, usually a floor person
is available to make decisions. Nonetheless, someone often takes
it upon himself to arbitrate every decision even in a card room,
and the other players call him the table captain.
