What do you do and why?
Dealing ahead, behind, or one dealer? (1 Viewer)

Always 2 decks. Next dealer (current small blind) shuffles the next deck. That deck is cut by the former dealer by cutting the deck and taking the top portion that is cut and laying it on the cut card which is next to the deck towards the new dealer.
Meanwhile the next small blind collects the old cards and starts shuffling

2 decks. Previous dealer collects the cards at the end of the previous hand and shuffles. They pass to the the current dealer at some point during the hand who then cuts the deck and passes it to the SB to deal at the conclusion of the current hand.
Two decks shuffling ahead. Not a fan of shuffle behind.
We have the current dealer gather the cards from the hand he just dealt, shuffle the deck, and hand it forward two players. When it's your hand to deal, you cut the shuffled deck and deal.
i think shuffle behind is more efficient.
The person dealing knows whats going on and after hand, they immediately collect the cards and start shuffling while the player to the left is dealing. Once shuffle complete pass the cards 2 seats to your left.
this is highly contested at EVERY meet up and you can fall in to 1 of 2 camps.
The civilized, evolved, Shuffle behind camp.
Or the knuckle dragging, velcro instead of shoelaces, shuffle ahead camp.
Edit: I down mind either way really. just prefer and think it goes smoother when shuffle behind.

Out of curiosity, why not?
I'll deal topless at your game for hot dogs and beer.
I quickly edited my post. Hard Pass.

two decks, previous dealer collects and shuffles, passes ahead to small blind. simples.
Consider it a standing offer.
It has been taken under advisement - although the last guy who posted topless photos got himself turned into 50 cut cards. You have been warned.Consider it a standing offer.
We shuffle ahead also. Don’t know about efficiency but we’re just used to it and it’s hard to change now - especially since I still have to remind the occasional player to burn one!
So the dealer cuts his own deck?? SECURITY!!!!
Haha! Considering that it's shuffled by someone else, I don't think it's an issue.
Another fan of shuffle behind here (aka dealer cleans up his/her own mess).
I read a post recently, probably on PCF but not necessarily, about the small blind trying to gather the cards as the deal begins such that there are three hands moving cards within a two-foot radius. With shuffle behind, the shuffler has time to pull in the old deck before the dealer gets around to that end of the table.
I'll do either, but at my house it's shuffle behind.
Edited to add: In order, (1) one dedicated dealer, (2) shuffle behind, (3) shuffle ahead.

Just awkward, IMO.

I always take a seat in the middle and deal full time. I deal one deck while the BB shuffles. I cut the deck when I get the shuffled deck handed to me.

Shuffle ahead cut behind. There is only one answer.

2 decks, shuffle behind
except if you play 5/10 : then get a Dealer

This is my preferred method and if it is "shuffle behind" then that's what I like to do. I have been converted from the other method for sure. But any 2 deck method is better than any 1 deck method.
